So... what if I actually WANT subtitles?

This forum is for questions and discussion of all the aspects of handling your footage. If you have questions about capturing/ripping footage, AviSynth, or compression/encoding/converting, look here.

Man, I'm tired. I meant to type 'Decrypt', and actually just meant not to demux anything when you save the file to the hard drive.


You made that last post JUST as I was looking over mine... lol

But yeah, I got it pretty much that way:

I ripped it with DVD Decrypter in IFO mode, with stream processing enabled, but with the subs set to Direct Stream Copy.

After a bit more googling (like about 2 hours), I was made aware of SubRip, on Doom9's Downloads page (and I feel stupid for not thinking to look there myself), so I ran it, loaded the converted IFO, and ran the OCR sequence, exporting it to an .ssa file. It took a little bit of post-editing to "fix" some of the text (the only real problems I had were that it confused uppercase i's and lowercase L's, and couldn't figure out what a % was), but now I actually had something with plain text in it.

VobSub and TextSub still weren't doing it in VDubMod, so I went back to the AVISynth docs. I knew there was a Subtitle(), but it wasn't for adding multiple strings of text. Turns out I just needed to add vsfilter.dll to the plugins directory, and use TextSub(filename.ssa) - that did the trick. Now I can just convert the .avs with PSPVideo.

So basically, I got the answer the 4th time I R'd the FM. :roll:

And DVD Decrypter is pretty much the EXACT same program as SmartRipper, the only real difference I've notced (though I really haven't futzed with all the options of either porogram) is that SmartRipper defaults to IFO mode.

Yeah, pretty much. I just prefer SmartRipper - I only go to DVD Decrypter when there are problems with SR, which has been just short of never for me. Although I would default to DVD Decrypter for burning ISOs once I found out about that function (of course now I've moved onto ImgBurn for that, but whatever).

If you have VobSub installed search for textsub.vdf (it should be somewhere in the installation directory... You can load it with VirtualDubMod as a filter and use it there without messing with your script (in case you want to do multiple exports for example)
