    Hi,

    Since i have a 4:3 tv i made my own letterbox using AddBorders.
    But this happens:

    I have would like to have my subtitles in the letterbox instead of on the movie itself.

    Here is my script:
    Code:
    # Created by AVSEdit
    # FLX 11/19/2006
    LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\VSFilter.dll")
    AviSource("J:\Movies\GoldenEye\cd1.avi")
    textsub ("J:\Movies\GoldenEye\cd1.srt")
    AddBorders(0,90,0,90)
    
    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Regards,

    Dennis

    Think this is the 3rd time I have said this to you. You need to add the subtitles after the borders.

    Well, you never said that to me and I would love to know how to do that.

    How do you do that in Subtitle Workshop? Or you handle that in the authoring program?

    In my case I use DVD Lab Pro.

    Well in the above you simply change the order. Quite logical.

    LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\VSFilter.dll")
    AviSource("J:\Movies\GoldenEye\cd1.avi")
    AddBorders(0,90,0,90)
    textsub ("J:\Movies\GoldenEye\cd1.srt")<-- subs are now after the border so they can appear over it.

    In terms of authoring with subs, you should be able to set the position so that they are over the border if there is one.
