Getting subtitles on mv2s?

<< < (2/3) > >>

madsic:
I know it's an old thread, just wondering if you ever tried...

--- Code: -----sub-file=LostS02E21-QuestionMark.srt --sub-track=0
--- End code ---
... and if you found out about anything?

The thing is that worked for me but since we're encoding to a nano screen this means that the subtitles really only show up as two lines one pixel high each.... kinda useless. 'Course unless you did found out about anything I'll just have to take Llorean's advice - or just give it a miss and wait for audio...

Thought Id post my findings so far.

I have found a way to get bigger subtitles on m2vs but I cant get it right and its a bit of a long way round.

First, you need to have the subtitles in text format not image as some dvd subtitle rippers do. I used subrip_1.50_beta3a http://www.digital-digest.com/software/download.php?sid=1045&ssid=0&did=1

You need to rip the dvd subtitles to OCR text or similar. As it goes through the dvd, it will probably ask you to correct some guesses of recognising some text.

When thats done, save it as a DVDSub sub format file.

Open VLC, set the preferences under Video > Subtitles, Use freetype2 renderer, tick the freetype renderer box, choose a font size of about 50 pixels. Leave colour at white, tick Font Effect to Background, it makes the text more readable.

Save and close VLC.

In the vlc.bat file on the desktop, use:


--- Quote ---"C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" %1 --sub-file=C:\rippeddvdfolder\yoursubfile.sub --sub-track=en --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=600,fps=25,width=176,height=128,soverlay}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=raw,dst="c:\nanovideo\vid_00.m2v"}}
--- End quote ---

Change the location of the files.

Save the bat. Drag the VOB file on to the bat file. It should do its thing. When done. Open the resulting m2v in VLC Player.

Its not right though. For some reason its all justified centered and the fonts are quite blocky even though the video is nice and crisp (see pic) and it seems to be completely out of sync. But its as close as Ive got so far! Anyone else who manages to sort those problems out then let me know!  ;D

Interesting - thanks for posting that... It does however look like it will be quite a bit of work before it's actually useful... Guess I'll stick to using it just for muted porn...  ;D

homielowe:
you could just use virtual dub to permantly burn the subs on the video , then recode using vcl

iPodFoo:
Do you mean this? http://www.virtualdub.org/

And I assume you mean to use the filter: http://www.virtualdub.org/virtualdub_filters ?

Does it output subtitles as a text file or image? And does VLC understand it?
