Help with converting/attaching??
 

Can anyone help me out with a freeware program that lets you attach a srt file to avi file so I can burn it to DVD with subtitles?

I'm this angry :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: trying to sort it out.

hey everyone get a load of this newbie.











(no clue)

You look pretty tuff in your sig KA POW!

I'm trying a program called DVD Santa but it putting the angry face on me too GRRRRR!

hasnt tried it myself....

Been googling for hours and haven't come up with shit :( ....even went to that link you put up.

DVDsanta keeps crashing on me. Tried heaps of cracked versions too. FUCK!

EDIT: Didn't work again :(

I don't know myself, not tried it yet, but have a read here, or ask at these forums. They'll be able to help. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=118905

^^ Tried a bit of the stuff on the forum round the net but the programs aren't very user friendly. Trying a 1-click kinda deal now that seems to be doing the trick but we'll see :D

let me know how you get on. Be handy to know if I ever get round to burning some stuffwith subs. http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/3...humbsupsv3.gif

Slasherman guide to do it right !

I found out:

...first download and install this 3 programs/filter (its important that you know were the files are installed and saved ):


VirtualDub 1.7.0 (Experiemental) :

Download subtitler-2_3.zip from virtualdub.org:
http://www.virtualdub.org/virtualdub_filters

SRTtoSSA.zip:
http://www.digital-digest.com/softwa...7&ssid=0&did=1

when you have unzipped and install those programs:

1. First convert your SRT file to a SSA file ...you do that in the SRT to SSA converter..

2. Now you got to find your folder to both VirtualDub and Subtitler filter (the unzipped installed ones)
Then copy the subtitler filter folder into the VirtualDub plugin folder as shown here...

3. Now open the program VirtualDub:

Open Video Filters:

Add your filter:

This is of course your subtitler filter

press ok...

Then add your SSA file:

Then Save as avi:

..this can take some hours

complicated!

It is complicated dude. Spent most of yesterday wrapping my head around it.

A program called ConvertXtoDVD saved the day in the end. You can just add the srt files when you are authoring the DVD. It burns it for you after that. 1-Click user friendly kinda deal.

Cheers for you post slasherman I'll have to give that a try for stuff I'm not burning to DVD.
