| Baldrick posted 2006 Dec 13 13:55 | ||||||
| With AutoGK can you easily add permanent / embedded / hard coded / burned in subtitles into a video file and convert it to AVI DivX or XviD. AutoGK supports AVI, MPG, DVD, TS input video files and srt, ssa, sub, vobsub idx/sub subtitle formats.
Tools AutoGK. Download and install the latest stable version and then the latest beta update. Guide Select the Input File Press CTRL-F8 on your keyboard to bring up the subtitle load Select the External subs (If you don't have the subs in correct format or if you would like to write the subs use Subtitle Workshop) Set the Output file Set the Output size Click Advanced Options to change between XviD Codec or DivX Codec Click Add Job Click Start! AutoGK will now run some tools in the background like VirtualdubMOD. Don't close it. Wait until it's done.  | ||||||

| Hi there,
I have followed instructions to the dot, but without success. Input File: .AVI External Subs: .SRT Output Size: 300 MB In Advanced Settings I have tried Xvid and DivX Codec All I get as Output file is: a small AVI file (1.8MB) without video and without audio. Any help? Many thanks. | ||||||

Evidently AutoGK doesn't support MP3 audio at such a low bitrate. Strip the audio from the AVI and feed an audioless AVI to AutoGK. Then remux the audio when done. Either that or reencode the audio to a higher bitrate and try again. | ||||||
| peko posted 2007 Jan 07 06:43 | ||||||
| I have a different kind of problem. After this subtitle encoding is completed, audio and video aren't synced in output file. Audio is maybe 10 or 15sec behind the video. And this gap is the same all the time, it's not getting bigger towards the end of the movie. What could be the problem? | ||||||
| Baldrick posted 2007 Jan 07 06:44 | ||||||
| Are you using LATEST version? some earlier versions had problem with mp3 vbr audio.
Or replace the new audio with the old audio using VirtualDubMOD, open the old video and demux the old audio track under Streams->Stream list. Then open the new video, streams->stream list and delete the new audio and add the old audio. Select Video->Direct Stream Copy and last save as a new avi. | ||||||

| manono posted 2007 Jan 07 10:18 | ||||||
| I dont have a seperate audio file...
??? You do if you separate the audio from the video, as I said in my last post. First save the audio. Then save the video without the audio. Then feed the audioless video to AutoGK and encode it, leaving enough room for the audio and overhead (overhead = 2-3 MB). When the video is finished encoding, mux the audio back in. If you don't know how to perform these basic VDubMod procedures, then look around for a guide or earlier posts explaining it. | ||||||

Yes, convert the subs to SSA format (I use SubResynch that comes with VobSub). Then in the header, raise the boldfaced number to whatever you like:
I find that 70 is about right. I'm not positive about this, but I think you can run the Preview and get an idea of the size of the subs. How long does it take to add subtitle to an 700 mb avi file? AutoGK has been running now for 8 hours and still there is 30% left ... The entire video has to be reencoded (and I suspect you're using the default 2-pass Mode). While 10 hours or so does seem like a long time, it's entirely dependent on the resolution used, the length of the movie, and your computer specs. | ||||||

| Hello again!
It took 19 hours total to put a subtitle to this 700mb avi file, guess my computer isnt handling this very well. But the outcome is perfect, sound, video very good quality ;) and yes manono, i was using two pass mode. | ||||||

I just got the same problem. I merged a 348Mb .avi with a 61Kb .srt. Sound comes before video. Does the Output size has to do anything with it? BTW, what is the suggested output file size I should use for the above? | ||||||
| chora posted 2007 Jan 13 15:08 | ||||||
| Ok, I solved it. Here's how:
I unistalled AutoGK and also Avisynth (2.5.6). I downloaded and installed Avisynth 2.5.7 (www.codecs.com) and reinstalled AutoGK without the Avisynth option. Then I downloaded the lastest VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.2_b2542_2 and replaced VirtualDubMod.exe and VirtualDubMod.vdi under \Program Files\AutoGK\VDubMod. I run again AutoGK and subtitle merge did not affect sound/video sync. | ||||||

| Hey everybody,
I got a little problem. I got an avi file ripped from DVD (res 720X480, 29.97 fps, audio 128Kbps mp3), and a srt file from online (25 fps). I've tried VirtualDub, AutoGK, and Vobsub submux to add the subtitle. The result is the same. The dub always comes out lagging behind the real audio at random rates. Was this because I have DirectVobsub running when I play the file or something else? Thanks a lot for your help. | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Jan 13 21:49 | ||||||
| You said the DVD source is NTSC and the subtitle source is PAL (25fps). So the subs won't be in synch unless you slow them down to the NTSC framerate (23.976fps). | ||||||
| Fluffykins112 posted 2007 Jan 13 23:41 | ||||||
| I found this to be a very helpful post. however, i must point out that i am using Auto GK v.2.4. you need to press F8, then Ctrl in order to access the option discussed. I never would have figured it out without that hint, though. thanks. | ||||||
| Baldrick posted 2007 Jan 14 13:28 | ||||||
No, the order doesn't matter and yes I have tested latest version. You must have some other strange problem... | ||||||
| Fluffykins112 posted 2007 Jan 15 01:07 | ||||||
| That is strange. It seems every time i press the Ctrl first, the hidden options come up. I've been seeing this ever since i upgraded from v.1.60. I've even had to re-install Windows since and I'm working with a fresh install of v.2.40. | ||||||
| howl posted 2007 Jan 19 16:22 | ||||||
Hey mamono, thanks your your hint, but how do I do that? | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Jan 19 23:11 | ||||||
| Hi-
How do you do what? Change the framerate from PAL to NTSC? Then why do you have that quotation, which isn't mine and is unrelated to your earlier question? Anyway, to convert a 25fps SRT subtitle to 23.976fps (or vice-versa), one way is to open it in Subtitle Creator (Files->Open Text Subtitles). Then go Synchronize->Convert Framerate->25->23.976, and then Files->Save As. Now, you said your file is 29.97fps. If it's a movie, the person that made it was an idiot, and didn't IVTC it, and the framerate is really supposed to be 23.976fps. After you get done, test it out with the AVI you made before reencoding using AutoGK. If it really is supposed to be 29.97fps, then set it that way in Subtitle Creator. You may have to also adjust the delay, which you can also do using Subtitle Creator, in the Synchronize section (Set Time Delay (-/+)). Also, unless you let your player do the resizing, 720x480 isn't supposed to be the resolution. It should be resized, depending on what the original DAR was (4:3 or 16:9). This is something AutoGK isn't designed to do. | ||||||

| O_O posted 2007 Jan 24 21:24 | ||||||
I needed the audio file in mp3 format because thats the only audio type AutoGK supports. To your next question:I have .avi file (video + audio) I just need to add subtitle to it... ?! Any idea? Is the subtitle already in the .avi video but its not embedded? You'll need to extract the subtitles or something in order to get the file. Then follow the steps on the first post to get the permanent subtitles added onto your video (hope that made sense)
Are you doing this for the same reason I had, to add the movie on a PSP or an Ipod video? Anyway, I don't think it supports video's in mp4 format, I recommend converting the file into .avi then following the steps on adding permanent subtitles. | ||||||

| Hi-
A tough one this time. Plus, I'm not entirely sure I understand the problem. I think you're saying that the subs, when external and played along with the movie, play in synch, but after being burned into the movie, are no longer in synch. Is that about right? If so, I don't really know why that's happening, but may be able to offer some tips about how to put them back in synch. I'll assume they're off by the same amount all the way through. If they get off more and more as the movie goes along, then we probably have a PAL/NTSC issue. If they're in SRT format, you can adjust the delay in Subtitle Creator. Open the SRT subs, and go Synchronize->Set Time Delay (-/+). If in SSA format, do the same thing in SubStation Alpha. Then try again in AutoGK, I guess. | ||||||
| pimento posted 2007 Jan 26 14:46 | ||||||
| You understood me perfectly. I checked the movie again and the subs get off more and more. They start just a bit ahead and end 4 minutes before the movie ends (the movie is an hour long). The subs are in txt format. | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Jan 26 17:13 | ||||||
| Then it's a PAL2NTSC issue (I think).
Time to backtrack. We wouldn't have to, except you say they play fine with the original AVI. That's a little hard to understand, as AutoGK doesn't change the framerate. Anyway, open the original AVI in GSpot. Check the framerate and the length. Open the reencoded AVI in GSpot and check the framerate and the length. Are they the same? They should be. You can do the same thing by opening them in VDubMod and going File->File Information. If they're the same, it's perhaps a PAL/NTSC problem. If both are 23.976fps (as they probably are), your subs are PAL, and have to be slowed down. Are you sure they're in .txt format? The file extension is .txt? Or SRT, or something like that? You need to know the extension. If SRT, open in Subtitle Creator, go Synchronize->Convert Frame Rate and change it so they match. There's also a chance after that they still don't synchronize, but then they should be off the same amount all the way through, and doing a Synchronize->Set Time Delay (-/+) for the right amount should fix it. That may not be the problem, because you said the video is 60 minutes long, but the subs are off by 4 minutes by the end. A PAL2NTSC problem makes the subs off by only a little over 2 and a half minutes per hour, or about 4 minutes in a 100 minute movie. Maybe you just have funky subs, and you'll have to find another set. Good luck. | ||||||
| pimento posted 2007 Jan 27 04:40 | ||||||
| Thanks manono for your help. I checked, the frame rate and the length are the same in original and reencoded avi (yes 23.976 fps). I've unchecked the "hide extension for known file types" in windows and it shows that the subs have .txt extension (the description of the subs on the download page says that the frame rate is 23,976 fps). So I guess my subs are just funky. Now I've decided to try and find another version. So thanks for the tips anyway, I bet they will come in handy in the future. | ||||||

If the black is part of the encoded AVI, yes. If the black is added by your player, no. Open your AVI in VDub(Mod). If you don't see any black, it was never part of the AVI, and you can't add the subs to it. What you'll have to do is add black when reencoding, using the AddBorders command. Then you'll be able to add the subs to the AVI. You can't do this using the basic AutoGK. You can do it if using one of the add-ons which pause it allowing you to edit the .avs. Better would be for you to reencode manually yourself, adding in the black below the video and then the subs. | ||||||

| Heres the situation
after downloading movie (.rmvb) format , i converted it to avi using 'winavi video converter' , to make it work on atgk so that i can put subtitle , i did , however now i m getting double subtitles one over the other , does that mean that in video player this problem will be solved ? or its just happening in my pc , and secondly when i converted the movie into avi , using 'winavi video converter' , at that time the sub file was also there in the source folder , so after the conversion to .avi , i could see the subtitles before going to atgk process to add one , and while playing that file , vobosub didnt loaded, does that mean that winavi automatically put subtitle in it ? allowing me to skip the atgk process ? And please clear me as y am i getting double subs one over the other , its happening like this 1) 1st dialouge---> double sub 2) 2nd dialouge---> single sub 3) 3rd dialouge ---> single sub its happening randomly please help , as i have also visited atgk help and f.a.q section but couldnt find the answers | ||||||

| I am having a serious problem. I am trying to put subtitles on an avi but i can't synchronise the audio with the video. Let's take it from the begining. The avi on the original state is ok.When i try to put the subtitles the file i am having after the process is synchronised, both audio and video for the first 3-4 minutes. Then the audio starts to be kinda "late". The matter is that i tried almost everything...i tried
1) Demux the old sound. Subtitle the video without sound. Then put the old sound on the subtitled video. Problem not solved 2) With VirtualDub only i tried to put the subtitles, full process the video and leave the audio unharmed but with no luck 3) Tried Media Subtitler still no luck 4) Installed the latest AutoGK,Virtualdubmod,Avisynth reinstalled them 1 brazzilion time and still nothing Please help me :? | ||||||

I apologize if I'm mistaking your problem into something else, but this might be the same situation that I've encountered before. If you can view the subtitles of a video in .rbmv format, that means the subtitles are permanently added there already. But I'm willing to bet you already knew that. Secondly, WinAVI will often embed the subtitles during the conversion. Even if it doesn't detect that there were subtitles in the first place. Basically, when you convert a video in Winavi, its attaching the video together with subtitles, you don't need to use AutoGK because it's already done, the subtitles would already be there permanently after the video conversion was in progress. No need to do it allover again with AutoGK. | ||||||

| manono, thanks for reply man,
the sub's format is SRT or SUB. IDX? i'm not following... what is it? i'll explain myself again... i want the subtitles to be sticked on the movie as an integral part of the frame, and not as a "floating" subtitle-file... Thank you for your time and help! | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Apr 19 08:21 | ||||||
| I understand what you want. There's no such thing as Forced Subs in an SRT file. You'll have to manually edit out everything that you don't want.
As for SUB, there are 2 kinds. One is the text based format, and the same thing I said about SRT subs applies to the text based SUB files. The other (and much more common) SUB file comes with an IDX file and is image based (just like DVD subs). That's the one where you can set it like I showed before, open it in AutoGK following the instructions in this guide, and "burn" or "embed" the subs into the video. | ||||||
| GangstaRap posted 2007 Apr 19 13:32 | ||||||
| manono,
ok! thanks man!!!! i finally found a quick easy way to permanently add subtitle to my AVI files - and all thanks to you! just one more thing man: the subtitles' position is not optimal... is there any way i can place them on the black border? | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Apr 19 14:31 | ||||||
| I sure wish you'd supply some information sometimes. What kind of subs? What format? If IDX/SUB, open the IDX in Notepad and where it has this line:
# Origin, relative to the upper-left corner, can be overloaded by aligment org: 0, 0 give the bold-faced zero a positive number to lower them. Give it a negative number to raise them. If they're SRT format, you can't do anything about the position. You have to convert to SSA (I use SubResynch which is included in VobSub). Open them in Notepad and where you see this: Format: Name, Fontname, Fontsize, PrimaryColour, SecondaryColour, TertiaryColour, BackColour, Bold, Italic, BorderStyle, Outline, Shadow, Alignment, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, AlphaLevel, Encoding Style: Style1,Tahoma,60,12303291,12303291,12040119,-2147483640,0,0,1,2,0,2,20,20,80,0,0 Whatever your 3rd from last number is, raise it to raise the subs on the screen, and lower it to lower the subs. And by the way, if the AVI was made correctly, it doesn't have a black border. The black is added by the player and you can't put subs in it. Open the AVI in VDubMod. If you don't see any black, there is no black border. You can add a black border when reencoding, but not with AutoGK. | ||||||

i'll be more specific, since i'm new to this. i'm just hit Ctrl+F8 and add my SRT file. i dont see the different between SRT and SUB - i'm just hittin Ctrl+F8 and loading my subtitle whether if its SRT or SUB. and i still didnt cought the IDX idea... what is it? is it a .TXT i should edit like you explained?
welllll..... that explain a lot!!!! thanks for that man!

| manono posted 2007 Apr 19 17:19 | ||||||
| Nope. Doesn't your player play external (separate) subs? Most DVD/MPEG-4 players play at least SRT subs. And they usually play others as well.
is it a .TXT i should edit like you explained? If you don't have an IDX file to go with the SUB file, then forget it. They're also called VobSubs and they are a very common subtitle format. | ||||||

| I hav 2 ques about this program. 1 is a problem and 1 is a question.
The problem is when I finished subbing, the voices and the subs dont match at the same time. For example, the subs will come up then after a couple secs after the voice comes on and not at the same time. Question is why is that? The question is can u sub 2 different subtitles for instance chinese and english. | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Apr 22 23:09 | ||||||
| Hi-
If the subs get more and more off as the movie goes along, then probably the subs are NTSC and the movie PAL, or vice-versa. If the subs are off by the same amount all the way through, then perhaps they came from 2 different DVDs, or perhaps whoever created one of them cut out something at the beginning, some sort of a logo or something like that. The subs can be adjusted fairly easily, depending on their format and what's wrong with them. Yes, you can burn 2 different subs into the video. However, probably not by using AutoGK to do the job. If you use the VobSubs from the DVD and add them in the normal way, and then have SRT subs or SSA subs following the directions of this guide, you can do it. SSA would make more sense, because then you can adjust the height, so they're above or below the IDX/SUB subtitles. If you have 2 languages of text formatted subs, such as 2 examples of SRT subs, then I think you'll have to do it outside of AutoGK, using an AviSynth script, or adding them in VDub. I've never played around with doing that, though, because every time I've seen AVIs with 2 languages of subs burned in, it's always made me mad, and I've always thought it to be a very stupid idea. Sorry. | ||||||
| JiChau posted 2007 Apr 23 00:22 | ||||||
How do u do it though if u says its fairly easy to do? | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Apr 23 02:09 | ||||||
| How about some information, then? Is it a constant or a progressive asynch? Are the subs in SRT, SSA, IDX/SUB format, or something else? | ||||||
| JiChau posted 2007 Apr 23 09:14 | ||||||
Constant and is SRT | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Apr 23 17:14 | ||||||
| First find out the delay. Make sure they have the same name as the AVI, even the AVI you made where they're out of synch. Play them and estimate the delay. If they play after the audio, you want a negative delay. If before, you want a positive delay. Estimate the delay. Open SubtitleCreator. Open the subs (File->Open Text Subtitles). Go Synchronize->Set Time Delay and put in your estimated figure. Go File->Save SRT. Play them again and adjust until you get it right. Then use that SRT in your AutoGK encode.
I think there's a way to adjust them on the fly by also opening the AVI at the same time, or maybe that's using Subtitle Workshop. Unless and until someone comes along and tells you that way, this will do. | ||||||
| JiChau posted 2007 Apr 24 10:52 | ||||||
| The problem is after subbing. After I put them together, the subs come after the what they said. For example, they say "hello"....4 secs after the "hello" subs comes on. | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Apr 24 13:09 | ||||||
I know what the problem is. You already explained it well. The answer is to adjust the delay before sending the subs to AutoGK, following my instructions earlier. If the voice follows the subs by 4 seconds, then you need to add in a +4 second delay in SubtitleCreator:
Be sure and test the subs before encoding, as it probably won't be exactly 4 seconds, and you'll have to adjust it until you get it right. | ||||||

| manono posted 2007 May 19 10:45 | ||||||
| The .avs is the AviSynth script file which is frameserved into VDubMod for encoding. The first and most obvious question is did you install AviSynth?
To find the answer, make a text file and rename it as an .avs. Make a Version.txt and rename it as Version.avs. Inside have just one line: Version() Save it and open it in VDub(Mod) just as you would an AVI (drag and drop, or File->Open Video File). You should see a small rectangle with the version of AviSynth installed. If you got an error message, then it's not installed, and you should install it. | ||||||

| manono posted 2007 May 29 02:06 | ||||||
Hi-
I don't understand. After hitting CTRL-F8 and browsing to the SSA file, that's all there is to it. You don't need to go into the Advanced Settings to do anything else with the subs. They will be burned into the video during the encoding. The "Use External Subs" box is to get the subs from the DVD, but keep them external or separate (not burned into the video). You don't do both things for the same encode. Your SSA subs are already external, so checking that box makes no sense. Baldrick didn't say anything about checking the "Use External Subs" box in his guide. | ||||||

| Hi-
It rejects it when? When you start the encoding? What kind of video is it? If you don't know, run it through GSpot. There's lots of stuff that AutoGK won't touch. If it's just a standard XviD or DivX AVI and you have the right codecs installed (as you should with AutoGK installed), then see if this applies and if the suggestion helps (TelemachusMH's post): http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51906 | ||||||

| Maybe the movie is from an NTSC source and the subs are from a PAL source, or vice versa. If so, the subs will get farther and farther off as the movie goes along. You have to fix the subs before doing the encoding. Maybe the subs are off by the same amount all the way through. If so, you just have to add in the right delay before encoding. You didn't really give enough information about what's wrong with the subs.
It's not really the fault of AutoGK that you downloaded subs from somewhere and they don't match the movie. | ||||||

| OK fine i will try working out with that.....i actually downloaded subtitles from www.subtitlesbox.com.

And i need info on how to merge two Video files(all formats). Is there any way I can add subtitles to the video files with merging, with the intention of just viewing the movie along with the subtitles(can't wait till AutoGK merges the subtitles). and what's NTSC and PAL source????? :D | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Jun 26 03:54 | ||||||
An AVI movie from an NTSC DVD will play at 23.976fps. A movie from a PAL DVD will play at 25fps. An NTSC movie lasts about 4 minutes longer than does the same PAL movie, for every 100 minutes in length. So, you can understand that if the AVI is from one standard and the subs from the other, they won't match up.
VDubMod, answering 'No" to the question it might ask if the audio is VBR MP3. Set Video for Direct Stream Copy after appending the 2nd AVI. And they had better be 2 halves of the same movie. All the parameters must be exactly the same or else they won't join.
Not sure I understand. If you merge the 2 halves of the same movie, you should also merge the 2 halves of the subtitle files. SubtitleCreator can merge 2 SRT format subtitle files. Maybe other programs as well. | ||||||

| Great tutorial and advice in this thread. I was able to get AutoGK running on the first attempt with good success.
I'm only experiencing one issue/problem: The new avi file that AutoGK creates has inserted an image at the beginning of the file that is from a later part of the file. It only flashes for a fraction of a second and then the files continues normally. But it has done this with every file I've converted to add subtitles. Any ideas on fixes or tweaks to change or stop this behavior? Thanks in advance. | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Jul 03 17:46 | ||||||
No, not really, and this is the first time I've heard of this. Do me a favor, please. Open the AutoGK created AVI in VDubMod and start advancing a frame at a time (right arrow on the keyboard). Does that out-of-place frame show up in the beginning? If so, then there's a problem. If not, it's not an AutoGK issue, but more likely some sort of a player issue, and maybe try a different player (I recommend Media Player Classic). | ||||||
| ivisitpublix posted 2007 Jul 03 20:04 | ||||||
| Thanks for the help.
Yes, when I review the avi that AutoGK created using VDubMod, the inserted frame shows as: Frame 1 (0:00:00.040) ----- this frame is actually Frame 125417 (more or less) It shows up in VLC, WMP, and also after I've used Nero to convert the AutGK avi into a dvd file. Phantom frame does not exist on the original avi I am feeding into AutoGK. Strange. :shock: | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Jul 04 01:39 | ||||||
| I was trying to do some research on this, and did come across one example of the problem, but with no solution proposed. In this case, it had nothing to do with subtitles, but with the source AVI being DivX, being reencoded to XviD.
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=109633&highlight=frame+beginning So, are your source AVIs also DivX 5.0, or perhaps some other DivX files (if you don't know, open them in GSpot)? Are you converting to XviD also? Have you done any other AutoGK AVI conversions, but without subs, and had the problem? Can you show me a *_agk_movie.avs? Although I don't think it'll enlighten us at all. And can you see that out-of-place frame when just opening the *_agk_movie.avs in VDubMod and advancing to the first frame? Can you do the conversion to DivX to see if the same thing happens? And if the ultimate goal is to make a DVD, you don't need the AutoGK step. You can make the subs selectable in the DVD, rather than being burned in. Give DVD Flick a try. Or AVI2DVD. | ||||||

What the problem is? Hehe, I haven't the foggiest idea. Telemachus says it might be:
That is, some value in the registry got changed and you have to change it back. So, get into the registry (Start->Run->Regedit). It's said to be a good idea to back up your registry before making changes. Doing something wrong can really mess things up. Then find the place in the registry that telemachus mentions:
And if it says something besides Xvid.Dll or DivX.dll, change it to one or the other (I'd change it to XviD.dll, myself). Save it and with any luck you'll be able to encode. | ||||||

| Hey All,
Having problems with AutoGK. Before reformatting used to always work now rarely when I add external subs message in log is unsupported audio Audio is MPEG Layer-3 128kbps Do I have to change the audio? Or is there something within AutoGK I can do Thanks | ||||||

| Nice guide, too bad AGK eats away movie content horizontally, even if you activate crop and set all values to 0 , therefor making the tool worthless when going for quality encodings. :( | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Dec 01 22:03 | ||||||
| Nonsense. It can indeed crop from the sides, in order to maintain the aspect ratio. That is, in my opinion, better than cropping from the top and bottom if something has to be cropped from the active video. It's one of the other, unless you're happy with bad aspect ratio off by up to 2.5-3%. In addition, in the Hidden Options you can set it to crop as much or as little as you like, or have it not crop at all. To not have it crop anything, you check the "Tune auto crop parameters" box and set the threshold to zero, not have the crops all set to zero.
When you talk about lost picture, are you noticing this when watching in your standalone, and are really losing picture to the TV set's overscan and not because of anything AutoGK did or didn't do? Anyway, do you have a log file to try and prove your baseless accusations? | ||||||

| i have a 700mb avi file that i would like to add subtitles too, i followed the instructions perfectly but when i played the file the audio and video were not synced, so i tried saving the audio using virtualdub and then using autogk to add the subs to a audio less video then added the audio back with virtualdub but still the audio and video are not synced, what else could i do? | ||||||

| Why permanent subs? It's generally better to have a separate .srt (or other format) subtitle file and have it rendederd at playback. Most AVI capable players (both soft- and harware) handle external subs fine.
Your problem may be due to VBR audio, which is well known to throw encoders off. /Mats | ||||||

It may have had a delay in there which AutoGK wouldn't have known about. Assuming a constant delay (off by the same amount all the way through), here's how you synch the audio with the video: Open the finished and out-of-synch AVI in Media Player Classic. Right-click the screen and go Options->Filter->Audio Switcher->check the "audio time shift" box, and fill in an estimate of the amount of asynch. Hit "Apply" and test it out. Negative values are to make the audio play earlier. 1000 ms= 1 second. Resume playback. Adjust until you get it right. At that point you'll know how much the audio is out of synch and how much to set the delay in VDubMod. Open the AVI in VDubMod, set the Video for Direct Stream Copy, go Streams->Stream List->Right-click the audio->Interleaving->Audio Skew Correction, and set the same delay as you found using MPC. OK your way out of there, go File->Save As, give it a new name, wait a minute or 2, and test it out. When all done, either uncheck the box or set the audio time shift back to 0 in MPC. | ||||||

| AutoG is very easy and simple!! :D
I have an avi file and a srt file for this video. :wink: I would like to ask: if there is a way to adjust the subtitles?? I mean colour,position,size like VitrualDub when you choose vobsub or text sub filter. I did a conversion with aviand subs, but the subtitles r small!!! Is there an option to change the size of subtitles before conversion?? | ||||||
| manono posted 2007 Dec 15 13:51 | ||||||
Not if using SRT subtitles. Convert to SSA and then you can set the size (or color, position, font, etc.) in the file. | ||||||

| Something wrong/odd with the audio. Sure it's MP3? (Seems like VBR MP3, so that could be an issue, but not Unsupported...)

| I'm new to this, but I got past most of this. Thanks for the help. I have one question, is it possible to change the outline colour of the subs and take of the shadow? | ||||||
| manono posted 2008 Jan 06 19:16 | ||||||
Hi-
Depends on the sub format. If IDX/SUB, then VobSub Configure can do it. Well, it can change the outline color. I don't think it can remove a shadow (I could be wrong). If SSA, then open them in SubStation Alpha and set up a style for color, outline, size, position, etc. If SRT, not directly, but convert to SSA (SubResynch - included in the VobSub package) and follow what I said before. | ||||||

| Sometimes it does that, I found that if you reconvert it (like the divx converter) it would be in tact. | ||||||
