Subtitles: Textsub.dll not found! Where to download?
 

Hi all! I discovered this incredible KVCD a few days ago. After hours of reading and trying and downloading and what not I understood how it works. But I can't add subtitles to my mpg because when I put this filter on, the .avs file shows "Textsub.dll not found" (or something similar:) I tried today the whole day other solutions, but nothing worked and finally I decided to bother you with my questions.

1. TextSub.dll is in moviestalker\filters directory and all other filters are used correctly except this one. Can I download only this .dll from somewhere, or what is wrong with my TextSub.dll, or any other ideas?

2. I used TMPGenc before for adding subtitles (directshow plug-in on top) If I encode the whole movie and try to add subtitles this way, will the quality reduce from the TMPG-convertion, or how long will the convertion last? (I must try it myself but right now I have a headache:)

3. WinSubMux and the SubMux-function of VobSub don't work! I am not ripping a dvd but a downloaded .avi with downloaded subs, that's why Winsubmux doesn't work I think. The submux in vobsub works, but creates only a 10-seconds long file and I don't know why. Do you know some other program for submuxing?

Can you help me please, I know it's bothering to answer so many questions but I really couldn't find the solution myself.

Many Thanks!

If ypu are using avisynth version 2.52. You need to download Vsfilter from this link
http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/
Then you just load vsfilter.dll instead of textsub.dll
In your script use
Textsub() as usual.

Lycka till

A big THANK YOU, man. Anyway, on my .avs file the subtitles are not on the black borders but on the screen and are very blurred. Would you tell me an example of what to write to set them under the scrren?

Ex script

## DLL Section ##
#
LoadPlugin("E:\Filters25\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\Filters25\GripFit_YV12.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\Filters25\STMedianFilter.dll")

LoadPlugin("E:\Filters25\undot.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\Filters25\vsfilter.dll")

## Defined Variables and Constants ##
#
MaxTreshold = 1.50
nf = 0 # Current frame.

## Main section and static filters ###

## Linear Motion Adaptive Filtering ##
#
# ( Portions from AviSynth's manual ) - This will apply temporalsoften to
# very static scenes, and apply variable blur on moving scenes.
# We also assign a variable - and this is why a line break is inserted:

SwitchThreshold = (Width<=352) ? 4 : (Width<=480) ? 3 : 2
ScriptClip("nf = YDifferenceToNext()"+chr(13)+ "nf >= SwitchThreshold ? \
unfilter( -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)), -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)) ) : \
TemporalSoften( fmin( round(2/nf), 6), round(1/nf) , round(3/nf) , 1, 1) ")

Ok, I made the avs-file and it looks fine. But of course there is another problem - when starting the prediction process ToK creates a video.avs file, which has a loadPlugin c:.. Sampler.dll in it. But yesterday I installed avisynth 2.52 and that's why all the sampler.dll-files that i have (4:) are not avisynth 2.5 plug-ins as it says on the screen and I can't predict my CQ. I will encode it without prediction, no problem, but do you know what to do with the sampler.dll? It's not on http://www.avisynth.org/users/warpenterprises/ :((
I think many of you have had this problem but I can't find the answer by myself.

If ypu are using avisynth version 2.52. You need to download Vsfilter from this link
http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/

Thanks, ezysk, I have VSfilter working, my sampler.dll wasn't working. I use a script which a member of the forum(the guy who made a yahoo group for kvcd) has posted and it works great. And didn't require sampler.dll Do you know what exactly does this sampler do?

Download the latest sampler version here. For avisynth 2.5 you load sampler-25.dll instead of sampler.dll.
This should work

Thank you, too, Krillenok. This sampler was a big pain in the ass because I couldn't predict the filesize of the mpg.
I think it will be much easier for newbies to have a section with all the .dll files possible. I searched through some sites and there was no sampler.dll, but many others. It would be good if they were all at one site:)

There is, on the home page of KVCD.net (see menu on the left, "software download").

And there is also a button "search" at the top of this present screen. Use it :!:

Yes I used them many times without success. And I didn't knew that I must search for "sampler-25.dll". The name could have been different. I searched for sampler.dll and in the first results there was the word sampler, in the next only "dll" and that was it.

Edlund,
welcome in forum!
:wink:

take care of this link,
you will find there anything you need,ok?

Thanks to you too, but I've checked this link noumerous times already. I simply missed the "SansGrip Filters" - link:)

:?
maybe i'm not understand you Edlund...
it means that you can't find this in the link posted?

see,copy of the link of our download page posted (thanks bp):
SansGrip Filters
click in this link :arrow: http://www.jungleweb.net/~sansgrip/avisynth/
and download the sampler0.2a.zip :!:

:)

It's ok, man, I've found it:) In the previous post I wrote "I simply missed the link". That's Past Tense. I missed it before I posted here. Now I know where it is.

ok, right my friend!
:wink:
