Looking at your latest post I see you are on the right path.
I was just too quick after your previous post

Still the same old "Line 41 Col 9" problem?

ur alright, ur just doin ur best to help me which I appreciate alot, but anyway I've got me idx file now and when I load the script into tmpgenc I still get vsub32.dll error. and I still get that line 32 colum 9 error but that I think is down to the vsub32.dll prob.

Andy post your current script.
Either something wrong with it or you still have vsub32.dll in your plugins directory.

Hi,
I'm back from dinner :P

Code:

...
vobsub(D:\LOTR_SEE_D1\VIDEO_TS\lotr-fotr-d1.idx)
...

It should be vobsub("D:\LOTR_SEE_D1\VIDEO_TS\lotr-fotr-d1")
You missed the " signs on the begining and end of the path and you can drop the .idx at the end of it.

Code:

...
ConverttoRGB24()
...

Do you really need this one?? You should be ok without it although it has nothing to do with your sub problem.

andybno1 · #28 01-22-2004, 05:03 PM

well I put in the "s and took .idx out it still sayin about vsub32.dll and now tempgenc closes.

rds_correia · #29 01-22-2004, 05:12 PM

Man, ur computer is making me very angry.

Just be sure to advise it that I'm not in the mood to travel to the uk today!
Although I'll be going there next month for training during a week or so!

Then if it doesn't cooperate he will be sorry soon

Ok just search your harddisks for vsub32.dll
Make sure to erase them all from existance

check if it still shows u the same message.
I'll be waiting till u sort it out.
Cheers

are you under other thing than winXP ?

rds_correia · #31 01-22-2004, 05:21 PM

Dialhot · #32 01-22-2004, 05:39 PM

I am under winXP and I have no trace of vsub32.dll on my PC. So I wonder if this DLL is for an other OS than XP. In this case that can explain that I do not find it (and I have to say than vsfilter works perfectly on my PC).

If you are under winXP, you can rename this dll to other thing, and try without it.

andybno1 · #33 01-22-2004, 05:44 PM

rds: me compy read what ya said

and well its now scared of u comin over here.

Dialhot: I only have WinXP installed in this computer.

ok now its all working fine (guess ur talk done something to me compy vds

) just now it says in the video preview window "Vobsub: Can't Open "D:\LOTR_SEE_D1\VIDEO_TS\lotr-fotr-d1" (C:\LOTR-FOTR-D1.avs, Line 32)

excuse me while I just let out some anger

FFS GDMFPOSTCFT of a prog

if u can make sense of that then u have too much time on ya hands

right sorted the vsub32.dll error out copied vsfilter renamed it and bunged it in system32 folder but its still sayin it can't open the idx file.

rds_correia · #34 01-22-2004, 06:06 PM

Oh man...
Put back the .idx thing on your vobsub line...
should look like: vobsub("D:\LOTR_SEE_D1\VIDEO_TS\lotr-fotr-d1.idx")
Besides this I have no idea as to why u cannot open the subs...
You know I live in a country where we have no tradition on translating the movies audio to Portuguese.
We just sub them.
I've done more than a dozen movies to KVCD using this software and the method
I have been telling u to follow.
Never had a problem besides the 1st or 2nd time I tried it maybe.
So far what I can ask is: are u aiming for KDVD on this movie?
If so why hardencode the subs

Take tmpgenc to compress the video in 704x576 and encode the audio to MP2 CBR 192 or maybe 224.
Or maybe leave it as AC3 xxxKbits.
Download IfoEdit, VobEdit and ImgTool Classic in doom9.org.
With VobEdit extract the subs to SUP format.
With IfoEdit author ur KDVD with the MPEG2 video and audio plus the SUP subs.
Load the authored/compressed new VOB files in ImgTool and burn it to DVD.
Watch it nice and cosy by the fire with your family.
Cheers

andybno1 · #35 01-23-2004, 02:49 AM

right then so u suggest I just go ahead and encode the audio and video then mux them to gether and then run the output through ifo and mux subs to the mpg?

if thats trhe case I'll need help when I come to doin the subs bit.

andybno1 · #36 01-23-2004, 03:06 AM

well I extracted the subs, I know have 6 sup files and I'm after the subs u see in LOTR where there is elvish talk would it be the smallest sized sup file?

Dialhot · #37 01-23-2004, 04:06 AM

There is no way to know that except to run the DVD in a player on your PC and go in the subtitle menu of the player. All the subtitles in the menu are in the same order than there are in the vob. Select them one by one and if the good one is for instance the 4th one, then the subtitle you need will be the 4th one also (probably numbered #23 as the first subtitle stream is generally #20).

You can also open the subtitle one by one under subrip and start to convert them into text. You will see quickly if the lines that are generated correspond to what you want.

Note: chance a big tht you need the smallest subtitle file because all other one should be the audio commentary done by actors and tech. But that's not sure. So you must test it.

andybno1 · #38 01-23-2004, 12:33 PM

all I can say to you two is thank you soooo much together u both helped me come to some way of sortin this problem out. So at mo I got part two encodin to m2v disc 1 is a total of 1.34gb with original ac3 file

just waitin for disc 2 to finish encodin to the m2v file.

andybno1 · #39 01-23-2004, 02:40 PM

well I done a mux of the audio and video for disc 1 and the picture was squashed into the centre of the picture, I found out I had it set to full screen (keep aspect ratio) anyway I'm gonna be re-encodin the video so its not squashed but in the mean time how do I add my sup file to the movie via IFOedit?

rds_correia · #40 01-23-2004, 03:02 PM

Hi Andy,
Did you start your IfoEdit already?
You don't use BBMpeg to mux KDVD. You use IfoEdit

Ok, just go down the menu to "DVD Author" > "Author new DVD".
A new windows will open up "DVD Author / Multiplex".
On the right margin of the new window you will see some small square button with a minus sign inside.
Each of these buttons relates to "Video", "Audio", "Subpicture", "Scene change/Chapter"
and "Output stream destination" as you can see on the left margin of the window.
This should be very straight forward. You don't need to specify any "Scene change/Chapter" for
your movie but you can if you want.
That's the part I can't help you because I don't use it and I don't know how to do it.
You will, though, find lots of help on the doom9.org forum.
Now for the tricky part: after you select your movie files you can see their path on the
"DVD Author / Multiplex" window. Click on the AC3/MP2 path and you can select it's language
using the combo box on the left.
Do the same for your Subpicture path and be careful as there are 2 combo boxes on the left.
The 1st is for Audio and the 2nd for subpictures.
Be a sports and tell us your results
