16:9 adding borders and subtitles after that.

Hi That worked, thanks. Now to a new problem. After adding the subtitles in VirtualDub I get a new avi file which I encode to a VCD using DVD2SVCD. The format is usually 16:9 so I choose the "add borders" selection. The subtitles are thereby nearer the centre of the screen. The thing is that I would like the subtitles to be at the bottom which means that I have to add the subtitles after adding the borders. Is there an easy way to do this perhaps with VirtualDub??? /Potter

Hum can i ask you one thing why are you encoding in Virtualdub to an Avi and then to vcd in dvd2svcd? just a little curious.. If you source is a dvd then dvd2svcd can handle it.. but onto your other questions. You should be able to posistion the text with the textsub plugin. If not try and load it in SubResync and convert it to a ssa format which you can then specify where you want them located. I don't have it on this computer (at work) so i can't tell you specifics on how exactly to get what you want done, done.

The source is AVI 

Hi The source is a 16:9 format avi, not DVD, so that's why I use VirtualDub. The subtitles are already positioned at the bottom of the 16:9 movie and then I add the borders in DVD2SVCD (well with the settings I use it's AVI2VCD) when I convert it to VCD format. After the borders are added the subtitles are, of course, no longer at the bottom of the screen. That's why I need to add border before or during I add the subtitles, so the subtitles will be at the bottom of the 4:3 movie. I know that it's possible to add the subtitles in DVD2SVCD with a script (and that will place the subtitles in the bottom of the 4:3 movie), but that's too difficult for a beginner like me. It would be much easier if I could just add the borders in VirtualDub while I also add the subtitles. /Potter

I am not sure if I understand U rite..... 

U have an avi file with burned-in subs ? And U want to convert this avi file into a VCD ? Is that rite ? And U want the subs in the bottom ? In this case U must add a black border on the top of the picture Something like : LoadPlugin("*YOUR PATH*\mpeg2dec.dll") mpeg2source("") AddBorders(16,put borderlines here,16,0) #ResampleAudio(44100) # CCE 2.5 'crashfix' for Athlons Be aware ! This script is for SVCD with avisynth and TMPG/CCE U must make ur own for VCD and , again this script id for DVD2avi d2v files Otherwise U must explain exactly what U mean

Changing the size of the subtitles!
