Gordian Knot permanent burnt in subtitles ??

Older versions of VobSub made 3 files, including an ifo file. Newer ones make only 2: sub & idx Edit your avs file manually, by adding the following: loadplugin("...\vobsub.dll") VobSub("...\filename")

Hi DJ, Thx for the responce But what file should I load with "VobSub("...\filename")"? Is it the original ifo that was produced by the Rip? It seems strange to me that Gordian Knot fails here to incorporate the sub-handling automatiquely while everything else runs smooth by itselves. Is this a known bug, do you think that something will be done about it in a new version of G.K.? (I am new to Gordian Knot)

I don't use GKnot anymore, I used it for a week or so a long time ago as there were the version 0.21, to see how it works. Now, I do all things manually. Replace filename with the name of the idx file. Check in VirtualDub to see if the subtitles appear. If they don't appear (or the wrong ones appear), edit the idx file so that langidx shows the right number.

Thx DJ, I'll jump on it :)

Strange...., everything you told me to insert into that file was already there but it didn't produce any subs. (The Avs comes from the last project I did yesterday) For checking in VirtualDub I need to change the colorspace from Yuv back to RGB dont I? Now it gives me a blanc screen. ======================================================= # Created with Gordian Knot # # # # PLUGINS LoadPlugin("D:\VIDEO\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\System32\vobsub.dll") LoadPlugin("D:\VIDEO\GORDIA~1\SimpleResize.dll") # SOURCE mpeg2source("G:\_WERKEN\Others.d2v") # CROPPING crop(4,0,709,574) # SUBTITLES VobSub("G:\_WERKEN\vts_04_0") # # RESIZING SimpleResize(576,320) ==============================================

Sub problem solved !!!! thx And yep that green vertical bar is there at the left side of the screen :( Question :) how can I make it go away ...hehe

Hi- Hehe-I thought so, but I thought I'd let you think it over for awhile. Simple Resize and IVTC must abide by the "Horizontal Crop Divisible By 4" rule. So, that 709 must be changed to something that can be divided by 4. So, maybe try this: crop(4,0,708,574) or crop(6,0,708,574) or crop(4,0,712,574) or something like that. And always check the .avs in the Preview or open it in VDub-Nandub and scroll around to make sure it looks OK and doesn't crash before doing the actual encoding. I think you were doing that already when checking out the subs, but it could save you a lot of grief later on. And if you think the position of the subs is too high on the screen, then give them positive "y" values (under the red square-40 usually works well), and if you don't like the color, then check the "Custom Colors" box, and hit the color you want to change. See-all kinds of free advice-worth about what you paid for it.

Hey I'm also having probs doing the subs except preview doesnt work for me. The movie doesnt play when I select the ifo file, the subs dont show up for me at all and the best I've gotten is a grey overlay over the image whenever the subs are meant to show up with the sub outlines showing up transparent. Also I cant open avs files in nandub either. The screen where I position the subs, thats the red square inside the square box right?

Hi- If the Preview doesn't work and you can't open the .avs in Nandub either, it's most likely something besides the subs that went wrong. Try this-don't choose any subs at all and see if the preview works. If it still doesn't work, then it's not the subs-perhaps you IVTC'd and also have a Horizontal Crop not divisible by 4, like the fellow above. Does the Preview get a funny shape and give you an error message? If the preview works with no subs, but doesn't work when subs are added, then it is the subs that are at fault. Try putting the sub line last (after Resize) by editing the .avs. As for the subs themselves- The screen where I position the subs, thats the red square inside the square box right? Yes it is. As for the subs not showing up-you read my message to the other fellow, right? You went through the stage where it says something like "I crossed my fingers..."? Were you playing with the checkmarks under the 4 colors? Ordinarily the 4 colors will come with 1 box with a check under it. It is meant to be left checked. The remaining 3 (sometimes 2) will have one black box meant to be the background or outline color, and one or two other colors meant to be the sub colors themselves (with yellow or light gray usually the main sub color). But if you start adding and taking away checkmarks, anything can start to happen-black screen-see through subs-all kinds of weird stuff. Anyway-I hope you have enough clues to begin to track down the problems. Edit-I just saw your exchange with D J Bobo. Maybe it's OK, but I've never put the sub files in a different folder-when VobSub asks where to put the subs, I just point to where all the other movie files are.
