how to use all this?
can teach me....

Sorry, your question is too general.However, maybe I can give you some idea.Codec pack required in order for you to play audio/video on your system.If you don't have appropriate codec, you may get an error when playing video file using WMP :

QUOTE

Error's C00D109A/C00D109B/C00D109C or One or more codec's required to play the file could not be found or Some of the codec's required by this media are not installed on your system can have a few different solutions depending on exactly what you are playing or try to play in Windows Media Player.

Most of the problem can be solved by installing codec pack.Certain codec pack included the player like Media Player Classic or codec inspector such as GSpot (in K-Lite Codec pack).

i dunno what term to use.. but the srt is showing faster than the sound.. ive used this one tool before.. which i can mark the end and start position of the sub, and the tool correct the timing of the sub itself. very easy that tool.. complete with two visual screen
But after format, ive forgot what the tool name and i cant find it through google

ok guys anything that will do the job for a noob like me will do.. bcoz so many advance editor out there that makes me blur

could it be Aegisub? Sabbu?

Check this link :

http://www.videohelp.com/tools?s=24#24

It also have screenshot. Hopefully you can remember the program.

ive found a nice subsitute that does the same job. time adjuster. Thx guys for the help

May i know is there any software that can embed subtitle (from .srt file) into a .avi file. I need the subtitle to be embedded in the video itself because I want to convert it into DVD by using Nero Vision. However, i can't insert subtitle with Nero Vision.

Pls advise. TQ.

take a look at the essential guides and review on how to hardsub a subtitle

ok normally we'll look for english subtitles which is relatively easy... how about mandarin subtitles ? any sites .. i tried googling.. but nothing came out

The one that i use at all time:

how to add sub file to DVD file.What is the easiest way.Can anyone teach me?

Hey guys i have a .sub file but it seems i cannot load into .....any idea how to solve it ?

i have lots of anime collection encoded in Xvid MPEG4 and most are them are fullscreen( only 35% are widescreen) if i watch fansub fullsreen anime( wherebt the subtitles are already embedded below), can i actually see the subtitles becoz there are already sending comments about not able to see them..is there anything i should do like changing the proper settings for the dvd player...
one more thing are there settings to on the dvd to modify the size of the video like widescreen movie to kinda strech the picture/pan scan/zoom a little because movies like silent hill is in a widescreen format and when played on my TV(not widescreen tv) looks more like it fills only 1/3 of the screen...

i'm currently using VSO ConvertXtoDVD
it's really a good software that will automatically convert your subtitle and movie into a DVD
all you need is to browse your movie and subtitle, then it'll do the converting for you automatically!
processing time is about 2 hours for 1 movie
you can find more info here - http://www.vso-software.fr

how to chage .sub files to .srt??

got any guides.....

i search videohelp there...and they provide very less guides....

Use Subtitle Workshop (link in the post #1). Open/load subtitle *.sub, File > Save as ..select SubRip

This post has been edited by keyz: Dec 9 2006, 09:49 PM

got problem....the error said "bad subtitle or unsupported files"

something that make me curious and he forgot to mention about:
the Rogue .sub file is 4MB!!
is a sub file can use up this kind of space??
and that is the sub juz for an hour only...

This post has been edited by tan_pang: Dec 9 2006, 10:23 PM

Sometime *.SUB may come with *.IDX also. The size is true. My sample video 1h30m comes with 8.5Mb *.SUB !

oo
but when open with subtitle workshop
it is unsupport format... and same with aegis...
wondering is the sub being protected...

and for my problem
i cant open chinese srt sub with subtitle workshop
and it say it is unsupport format...

*.sub itself can be a few format. DVDSubtitle, SonicDVD Creator, Subviewer, Subviewer 2 etc. Only thing I can suggest is try to download different subtitle tool from videohelp.com & check which one is work.

That's most of the problem I notice. Chinese subtitle cannot be read in most of the program, not only with Subtitle Workshop.

i tried finisg help in videohelp..but all the software/tools doesnt work....

have tried

VObsub
avidemux
subrip

dunno why
when i try to open a avi with srt as the subtitle
it will show a msg box with title "VSFilter"
and the msg inside is "Syntax error at line 346!"

what is happening and how to solve this problem??

EDIT: problem solved
i tot the problem is in the No.346 of the of the sub
but the problem is at the line 346 in the notepad which the time got some error...

if u guy's softwares/tools can't detect .SUB files
Convert them to SRT instead

my subtitle format already .srt

damn, none of the format in Subtitle Workshop can recognize my .sub?
the sub is in English only..any idea?

I wonder what u really mean by "but still use subtitle"

my vobsub can render chinese srt sub no problem, just need to change the option to chinese (forgotten), or else will result in random codes..

and vobsub can display .sub too, just the sub appear a bit ugly.

i hv a time where i play divx movie with srt subs, vobsub will display an ugly green diagonal line, then i just uninstall it. after a while i reinstall back, the green line dissapear, dunno why...

If a movie without subtitles,how to make it got subtitles in the movie? any recomend ?thx

just find a subtitle any on the sites provided
n open it with ur movie using mpc or vlc
or just rename it using the same name as ur movie title n open with wmp(but this need vobsub installed, if u dont want to find any trouble just dl klite mega codec pack, it's bundled there)

wut software should i use to convert .sub to .srt?
subtitle workshop cant convert them
some help in here is much appreciated
thx

List of available subtitle tools (some of the software is not updated anymore) :

http://www.videohelp.com/tools?s=24#24

SUB in not supported by Subtitle Workshop ? Cannot load at all & get the error ?

yea the error subtitle workshop gave was bad subtitle or unsupported files

bertz,

Thanx for the sample. I manage to convert the sample using Avidemux 2.3.0.

This how I do it.

1. Download avidemux. Unzip it to it's own folder
2. Launch the main program
3. Go to Tools > OCR
4. Focus on "Files". Click open & browse to *.idx file (*.idx & *.sub MUST be in the same location)
5. Click "Save". Make sure the file include the extension. Eg: "subtitle.srt"
6. Click "start OCR"

You'll see the subtitle. Just enter the character correspond to the "bitmap" and press enter. What you doing is "teaching" the software to understand the character. You're teaching the software to "read" from bitmap & save it as text.

Depend how many lines, you'll take some time to do that.

The most common way to convert .idx+.sub (vobsub) to .srt is using SubRip.
for .sub(text type), just use Media Player Classic's save subtitle feature(the best),although SubRip can also convert but is buggy

need to ask u if i wanna change the video languange can?

Provided that your video has a 2nd track with another language. Yes. But if it doesn't then No.

You can switch audio tracks with MPC and VLC.

how to change can teach me?

just right click on the movie, goto audio and select the audio (language) u wanted.
that is, provided the video has more than 1 audio language.
but if it's not, then cannot change lah.

edit: so far i only know 1 video format that can has more than 1 language, and that is matroska format (.MKV).

there are others, maybe..it's just i don't know about them..

^^ What he said. .VOB files that are directly ripped from DVDs can have them as well if they bother to include it in the first place.

hmm if i change the name to xxxxx.MKV it already be mkv format but i right click audio jz have 1 means that video only have 1 language?if i wanna other langauage cannot de?

*cough*
the file must be encoded with matroska format (.MKV) in the first hand.
for example u have a video called myVideo.mpg.

then u have 2 audio files for the video, let say Audio1.mp3 & Audio2.mp3

then u encode all 3 files (video, udio1 & audio2) to matroska format.

only then u have a valid matroska files and those 2 audio can be change la..
simply renaming the files (e.g: .AVI to .MKV) will not change anything.

wao pro...can teach me how to encode second u say the audio1.mp3 and audio2.mp3 if i don't have can i find it?

^^wow that is hard..
i dunno where to find dubbed audio..

Clarification, mkv is not a video format, its just a container that containes the video stream and audio stream

If you wanna add audio, just take 2 audios and mux it into MKV, no need to encode, just remux

This post has been edited by shinjite: Mar 21 2007, 06:56 PM

start by googling mkvtoolnix

^haha.. ya ya remux..
i forgot the exact word..

hi guys, I want to use SubtitleWorkshop to convert .srt to .sub.
so, i load the .srt and then choose SaveAs, but I was prompted to choose 1 of the format.

I tried a few, but none of them work on Windows MP or Media Player Classic.

how do I know which one to choose?



and I thought Media Player Classic should be able to play my .avi with the .srt subtitle?

Make sure you installed DirectVobSub (VSFilter) | Link |. It's main purpose is to display subtitle based on DirectShow.

It may come with most codec packs also. You may install stand alone or install from codec packs.

hey keyz, thanks a lot!

so, this .srt is consider as soft sub?
and .sub is hard sub?

like in my previous question, i tried to convert the .srt to .sub.
but am not sure which .sub to choose. how can we identified them?

This post has been edited by bobtiang: Apr 11 2007, 01:26 AM

The oldskool mpg format sometimes contain dual audio. Basically it just a stereo where they split it into two language for each channel. So, you want to eliminate one of the channel so you can hear one language only at the same time. In Media player classic there is an option called Audio Switcher. Enable custom channel mapping, and tick the appropriate channel you want to hear only.

Added on April 11, 2007, 2:14 amBoth are softsub. Hardsubs are subtitles which is hardcoded during the process of video encoding. It becomes one entity as in the video itself.

This post has been edited by ruffstuff: Apr 11 2007, 02:14 AM

In layman terms, any subtitles that comes externally or embedded and can be removed are softsubs.(MKV for an example)

Hardsubs is the subtitles/wordings that are permanently/forever "printed"/"displayed" as part of your video.

And I found a website that shows how to make hardsub so that we can burn vcd/dvd with subtitle in it so that can watch on vcd/dvd player. It is quite simple.

http://www.divxland.org/permanentsubtitling.php

Just need 3 softwares :
VirtualDub -- Video edition and conversion utility
VirtualDub subtitler filter -- VD filter to embed SSA subtitles with video
DivXLand Media Subtitler -- Subtitle editor and converter

You can even change the font type, font size and color of your subtitle.

wont it take forever 2 paste the subtitle? i tried using virtual dub b4 it took me hours den i gave up...anyone have recommendations on which prog 2 make hard sub in a faster and efficient way??thx

hardsubbing a video takes that long, because you have to reencode the whole video with the text on it,
There are 2 ways for you to do it
1. virtualdub + vsfilter + your subtitle file(*.srt,*.ssa,*.ass, other subtitle file)
but this can only let you encode according to what codec you have installed in your computer (H.264 encoding not supported in vdub or vdubmod)
2. megui + avisynth + vsfilter.dll + your subtitle file
with this you can encode your video stream in H.264 and put in matroska container or mp4 container (*.mkv,*.mp4)

hardsubbing subtitles is considered very simple if you compare it to make subtitles, timing, and making karaoke effects

WARNING: It is not advisable for you to hardsub subtitles to video because it will cause your video file to degrade in video quality, keep it softsubbed if possible, and if you do not know how to configure the settings for the encoder, the resulting encoded video would be larger than the source and is a waste of space and would drop the video quality by quite a lot that it will be easily noticeable.

This post has been edited by koayty: May 11 2007, 05:38 PM

u need to transcode it again with the subs, that is why it takes a long time. Plus it all depends on your bitrate settings too for the final output file size. If u want it fast, choose the lowest quality settings with 1 pass and you're done but don't expect good quality out of it

koayty : H264 also has vfw but lacks in some settings. So it is supported in VirtualDub, just that it won't be 100% compliant.

if it is not 100% compliant, whats the use, you can't send that video to others and other decoders will start complaining about it, no one uses vfw for h264 anymore

tried it nearly a year ago, but that x264 vfw version sucks a lot

cli x264 encoders is already considered mainstream, no point using vfw that makes your video incompatible with other players

1.may I noe how if I have a movie divided into 2 part(part 1 & part 2), how can i link these two video so that i can play my srt file.?
can it be done?

2. how to edit my subtitle if the time and the dialogue are incorrect?

why the subs doesnt show when i play mkv in WMP 11 on vista ? i installed the same thing as i do on my deskop which using xp and WMP 10 ..

ok my question is about DirectVobSub,i can see video of the movies before installing this filter, but not after it installed.My WMP10 indicate that the movie is playing but there is no sound and picture and the slider are not moving too.
what is the problem guys?

hmm...DirectVobSub is for the subtitles, nothing got to do with the video codecs

right click the vobsub icon, choose directvobsub(auto loading version), go to general tab, change vertical padding from whatever it is on currently to original heights

though this will most likely fix the prob, some subtitle will appear too high inside the video, so its better if you use other media player that doesn't require that fix like media player classic

hello guys...
i'm a newbie here
i have a question

i have bought dvd player with divx support
the product is PIONEER DVD PLAYER DV-383-S
i had play a divx movie with subtitles

my problem is
some of the movies i burn into dvds, cannot play with subtitles
i used .srt file as subtitles
i have series of desperate housewives, lost, heroes, csi... using .srt subtitles
but seems subtitles cannot appear at tv screen

but i don't know how, some movies can play with subtitles...
for info, some of the movies i used .sub file
some of them i used .srt
don't know which one cannot appear and which one can appear on my tv screen

anybody can help me???

thanks guys!!!

try this program see whether it fixes the poblem or not
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/SRTWiz.htm

what the easiest software to edit subtitle?
my subtitle forward 5 second b4 the audio..
any suggestion.?
thanks..

http://www.tomzavodny.cz/program/subtool/
get the subtitletool program
btw, your subtitle get progressively out of sync or right form the start early 5 secs?

if it's progressively out of sync, then you need to adjust the speed(ie 23.976fps->25fps).

if it stays constant early 5 secs throughout the movie, use the timeshift function to move it backward 5 secs.

This post has been edited by trix: Jul 30 2007, 11:52 AM

ok..thanks

You can use a program(Free I think, not sure where I got it. Either google or download.com) called "SubtitleEdit" and manually cut the back part of the movie (2nd part) and create a new .srt yourself. For the time, you can use the program to make the text appear later/earlier too.


As above.

I suggest u use GOMplayer and install CCCP and real alternative...that's all u need to play almost all video formats..from GOMplayer itself, you can forward or backward the subtitle...

how to burn vcd with subtitle?

Hi to all, i have one movie and movie's srt subtitle file, but when watching the movie, the subtitle show is faster than the actor speak..so how i going to delay the time with this software? anyone know? thanks

ffdshow?

enable subtitle decoding on ffdshow by tick the check box, then put negative value one the "delay:" input box.

Sorry man, ur question's not clear. U mean u want to convert other video formats into mpeg-1 with subtitle?

how to make directvobsub subs look as good as vmr7/9 mode?
i'm using overlay mixer.
subs look awfully jaggy when resized 1680x1050 in fullscreen mode. only applies to SD stuff.

what kind of sub format? im using ass and srt type, decode video and resize with ffdshow, they look nice for me.
unless u r using wrong output colorspace

http://www.wikisubtitles.net

here a good site , no need register!!

anykind. using ffdshow resizer sure looks better than the player resize, the video and subtitle. but use to much cpu power. not taht my cpu can't handle it...
i like my setup super efficient

sorry guys i have a problem. i did as the tutorial said and change to VMR 9 but when I try to load subtitles, error come out:

to load subtitles, you need to change the video renderer type and reopen the file.
-DirectShow: VMR 7/VMR 9 renderless or Haali's
-RealMedia: Special Renderer for RealMedia, or open it through Directshow.

AM I to download something?

u mean overlay mixer + directvobsub? sub will look jaggy anyway unless u do resizing,
u need to resize atleast 1.5x from original video width and height to "anti-aliasing" ur sub
or if u have nVidia card, try use mplayer with opengl renderer.

Added on October 30, 2007, 7:02 pmwhat tutorial? what player are u using?

This post has been edited by 1024kbps: Oct 30 2007, 07:02 PM

the tutorial in the first page first post: Viewing subtitle on first page, that tutorial.

Using Real Media Player.

try media player classic first easy for troubleshooting.

sorry i meant media player classic ....it's a 700mb file, think it's called AVI? not sure the format of the file.

just make sure u r using VMR7/9 renderless.
or just install directvobsub to use with default overlay mixer.

i went to options to set it to VMR 9 renderless but still same thing

i got the same thing if i didnt use vmr renderless
change to vmr renderless and restart player.

ok. maybe i am doing it wrong. am i supposed to open Media Player without any file? and if so, do i select VMR 7 or VMR 9 renderless? and the other stuff? Do i select Direct X 7 or Direct X 9?

with or without also can, VMR7/9 renderless doesnt matter as both also can load subtitle, the DirectX 7/9 has nothing to do with the VMR renderer

i mean do i select VMR 7 or 9, i seemed to try both but nothing

Added on November 2, 2007, 8:19 pmVMR 7 enables subtitles but the video appears on 2 screens.

This post has been edited by kobe8byrant: Nov 2 2007, 08:19 PM

still cant load subtitle? weird=.=
if ur video renderer has changed to VMR renderless, the notify windows will not show up anymore.

u can use the default overlay mixer anyway, but u must use directvobsub, it render subtitle even on overlay mixer without eating high CPU usage(unless u have mid-end GPU) like VMR renderless.

it doesn't do it properly. when i go VMR 9, the window shows up. when i go VMR 7, can but the screen is green but the subtitles appear and the screen is cut into 2 parts

Do u have Direct x 9.0 installed?
the problem u have is kinda complicated,
try directvobsub, less problem than VMR
