Subtitles: Merge Two Sets of .SRT Files?

WOWIEGURL · #1 04-13-2005, 10:15 PM

Hi ,

I have 2 sets of .srt files and I'm trying to merge them .... eg b.srt will automatically start playing after a.srt.

I've used this in my script
a=textsub(a.srt)
b=textsub(b.srt)

=a++b

this doesn't work. Only a.srt will show up. Should I use copy /b a.srt + b.srt ab.srt instead?

Thanks

@Wowie
Open a srt file, read it and understand it.
Open the second one, do the same.

Now do you understand WHY merging is not so easy ?

Use tools like "subtitle workshop" or "time adjust" to merge the files.

Hi WOWIEGURL,

You can not merge subtitles with avisynth, but you can merge movies.
If you have two movie files and two subtitles files you can try this:
a=mpeg2source("movie_a").textsub("a.str")
b=mpeg2source("movie_b").textsub("b.str")
a++b

If you have only one movie file but two subtitles files, you can try this way:
a=mpeg2source("movie_a").trim(0, xxx).textsub("a.str")
b=mpeg2source("movie_b").trim(xxx, 0).textsub("b.str")
a++b

Where xxx is the point in frames where the first subtitle ends and the second starts.

The first situation is very simple to use.
The second one is a bit tricky to find the exact point to trim, and is probably easier to use subtitle workshop as Dialhot suggested.

Thanks... this is the information I wanted.

THank very much.

Hi,when I try to load the following script:

Quote:

#LoadPlugin("C:\Programfiles\MovieStacker\Filters\ VSFilter.dll")
a=AviSource("D:\Video 1\CD1.avi")
b=AviSource("D:\Video 1\CD2.avi")
a++b

Ill get this AviSynth error:

It seems to me that it is a audio issue,but I havent been able to
find a way to fix it.Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Try this:

Quote:

#LoadPlugin("C:\Programfiles\MovieStacker\Filters\ VSFilter.dll")
a=AviSource("D:\Video 1\CD1.avi", false)
b=AviSource("D:\Video 1\CD2.avi", false)
a++b

Yep,that works anerboda,but leads to another "problem",
I still have two mp3 audio files to be encoded,do you know of
a program to join the files before encoding ?

Anerboda · #10 06-25-2005, 05:58 AM

I'm not quite sure of what you want to do, but if I get you right you want to join two mp3 files and encode them to ? (ac3 or mp2).
The only few times I had to do that I join the two .avi's in vdub and saved the audio as wav, and then encoded the wav with headache or besweet...
Hope this get you a little further

That's the way I use also.

Thanks,works great!

Wowiegirl,

if you are still looking to merge .srt files, download SubtitleTool, and its a snap. I gave up on Subtitle Workshop trying to do exactly the same thing this weekend, because STW crashes on my computer as soon as I load a file.

Don't feed the troll...
