Hi,
First let me tell you that although my French is a bit rusty I find that guide to be EXCELLENT.
Anyway your target seems to be KVCD.
If so, you have only one good method for adding subs to a kvcd movie.
The method is to add a filter to your avisynth plugins folder named VSFilter.dll and to add a line to
your script like TextSub("c:\mymovie\mymoviesubs.srt").
That is you'll have to find your movie's subs in subrip text format to use that or you may find it in other text
format and use Subtitle Workshop to convert to subrip format.
This way while you encode the movie with tmpgenc the subs will be hardencoded to your movie.
So if you already have an mpeg file you'll have to do it all over again to have subs.
There is another method called selectable SVCD/CVD subtitles but regularly standalone player are
only compatible with SVCD or CVD format, not both.
You'll have to find out which one your player is compatible with, if with any...
Just take the already encoded mpeg file and an srt text based subs file and use winsubmux.
If you have any specific doubts about any of these methods please let us know.
Cheers

Hi ,
Just after your GripBorders() line.
You are using GripFit aren't you.
At least I think I recall seing it in the guide
Anyway if you're not you'll have an AddBorders(x,x,x,x).
Put if after adding the borders either with GripFit or AddBorders.
Cheers

hi rui

this is the script, its v4 i think by dialhot:
AviSource("c:\kvcd\kvcd.avi",false)
BlindPP(cpu=4)
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max =3,variance=0.1,seed=1)
Convolution3D(1, 6, 12, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
GripCrop(HEIGHT, WIDTH, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
Undot()
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)
DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)
#Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_ma x=10,variance=0.3,seed=5623)
GripBorders()
TextSub("c:\mymovie\mymoviesubs.srt")

i add textsub just after gripborders.

this will give me subtitle in the black area ?

Hi cyron ,
If I recall it properly, that will give you half inside the movie are and half inside the borders area.
Don't recall what to do in order to get it only inside the black borders area...
Anyone?
Cheers

You must create a ".srt.style" file.
Do a research in the forum, I explained that a lot (in DVD2SVCD forum for sure).

Hi cyron ,
If I'm not mistaken that is a VobSub sub file.
That I don't know how to tweak because it is not very well documented.
Or it is not documented at all...
If you use an srt file you can set the correct styles with subtitle workshop.
Though, these styles are inserted on a sub by sub basis and not for the whole subtitle file.
Give it a try.
Cheers

Don't both with Subtitle Worshop ! The style file is all wha tyou need there !

ScaleX and ScaleY ARE the paremeters you need to change to modify the size of the subtitles. They are egual to (100,100) by default and represent the scale in % for both direction. If you want them smaller, put (75,75) for instance.

Fontsize does not have any influence has the real size is computed according to the resolution of the target.

Sorry to both.
I mislead cyron a couple of posts above by saying that he was showing us a VobSub file when in fact that was an srt.style file.
Also I understood by style that cyron wanted underline/italic etc.
That doesn't seem to be the case in his question after all.
Cheers

For sure : you can play the script in a media player or go in the preview feature of tmgpenc (menu file).
