I need help with 2 things. Nero 7 users please look.

Well you could use the above AVISynth script. You just need AVISynth and VSFilter (plugin that contains textsub()) You would get crisper subs though if you upsized before adding the subs. Since Nero converts via dshow it should load the subs automatically when you convert though, that is assuming you are using directvobsub for playback. Not sure about setting the encoding though.

 

So how do I do all that? In steps (1, 2, 3 etc) please. Thanks.

 

Nothing?

 

Crap, if only I understood your terminology I wouldn't need it in steps.

 

Alright, well I followed this guide

http://forum.koreandramas.net/topic_541.html

I have 2 problems.

1. It makes the movie open in a smaller window, and when opened to full screen it doesn't have as good quality of an image as the original.

2. I set everything to make russian subtitles, but for some reason the symbols still ended up there, any ideas?

 

1) You don't have to resize and it sounds like your resized down. That said hard subbing involes re-encoding, which always causes a quality hit when you are using a lossy codec like DivX. Such steps should be avoided if you are aiming for DVD video.

2) Use textsub (VSFilter) instead and set the encoding to 204 and you will get the correct Russian text.

 

Well the tut has divx 5 for the codec or whatever, so what can I do to increase quality?

 

Also, can you link me to the proper download for VSFilter? I seem to keep going to the wrong places.

 

Official site:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=84359
My build:
http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/Media Player Classic/external filters/unicode/VSFilter.7z

For VDub, rename to *.vdf and place in the plugin dir. For AVISynth, just copy to your plugin dir or specifically load it in the script.

To increase quality for DVD, don't encode; frameserve.

 

I used it, but when I set it to russian and add it as a filter, I click it open again and it's set to Default (1), how do I get the Russian to stick?

 

No way to change the default, well other than changing the code and recompiling. You just have to change the encoding each time you use the filter.

 

Nero doesn't let you burn movies to to CLONEDVD2

 

Alright, well I got ConvertXtoDVD, and it has a russian option, but I need to know, what's the easiest most simple way of changing the symbols to russian in the sub file? I put it into convertx, and I set it to russian, everything works but the symbols don't change which leads me to believe that it doesn't recognize the symbols, it only accepts russian letters.

 

So it converts with the text ok but some symbols are wrong?

 

No, I set all the settings to russian but with the final result they stay as symbols.

I hate this.

 

Well as I understand it there are actually a couple of different encodings for Russian. Your file however was using the most common one and worked fine in other apps. Guess contact VSO and see what they say. Personally I have never used the app, so I have no idea.

 

Yeah I posted on their forum. Here's a pic of how far I got.
