Multiplex a subtitle on VCD???

Subtitles in VDub

Hey -
This all depends on the program you are using to make the subs. If you are using SSA (SubStation Alpha), you can use the attached plugin to place subs onto an AVI...well what use is an AVI if you want an MPEG rai? You can use TMPEGEnc or similiar to convert the AVI into an MPEG...here we go...

1. Download the attached subtitler.vdf if you are going to use SSA subs

NOTE: VobSub (the other attached file) will also work with SSA files, but subtitler.vdf works just as well for SSA and is smaller. VobSub is good for other formats. (you can look are the net for utilities to convert the subs to whatever format you need them)

2. If using VobSub, skip to step 3. For subtitler.vdf, place it in the plugins directory for VirtualDub, skip down to step 4.

3. Run the exe to install the VobSub DirectShow Filter and plugin

4. Open VirtualDub

5. Open your MPEG File (Ctrl - O: Open Video File)

6. Choose Video > Filters

7. Click Add...

8. If using VobSub, use step 8b, otherwise use step 8a for subtitler.vdf

8a. Double click Subtitler and give it the SSA (.ssa) file that contains your subs. You can leave the other options alone

8b. For VobSub, you can use TextSub for SSA files and VobSub for .idx and .sub files. Again this depends on the format. The best thing to do when using VobSub is to look at the documentation for the fine points on using it.

9. Click OK until you come back to the main screen

10. Video > Compression

11. Choose your compression options and codec

12. If you want to compress your audio now, you can, it really does not matter - personally, I believe it is useless to compress the audio at this point

13. File > Save AVI...

14. Once that is done, open TMPEGEnc (you can use whatever you want, but my instructions are for TMPEGEnc)

15. Go thru the project wizard and set the options for your project

16. Encode the MPEG and that is it

Hope this helps...
 
thank you!!

you have been very helpfull thank you.
if it isn't too mutch can you tell me some videoserver to open avi from virtualdub on the tmpeg??
 
Do not think you need a frameserver...

With TMPEG, you just tell it the video file you want to use in the project. There is no need to frameserve (at least, i do not think there is)
