Subtitles

Logola is correct. When i started the thread there were no subs at all...now i have them working (using vobsub) in MP9 and WinDVD but not divX. I'll check out the gordianknot site soon

damiandimitri · Dec 31, 2003, 09:20 AM

if i am correct you need to download 3 packages;

1 gordianknot rippack it self
2 gordianknot codec pack
3 auto gordianknot (which makes it a kind of 1 click solution)

besides this

-try dvd2svcd (which does also dvd2avi; and avi is a container for divx and xvid). By the way xvid seems superior in many test. It is freeware and allows subs.
www.dvd2svcd.org
http://dvd2svcd.shellhost.dk/

-if you have the new nero , you can try their new nero digital codec. IF you have the ultra package it allows dolby digital....and subs ofcourse. Qaulity seems extremely good

http://easydivx.does.it/

seeing as we have all the experts here what do you guys recommend for making SVCD copies of a DVD. any recommendations? I already use some software but id like to see what titles and apps come up here.

damiandimitri · Dec 31, 2003, 01:40 PM

there is only one for me. which gives the best image quality...and that is dvd2svcd with the cinema craft encoder (cce2.5). DVD2svcd is free, but cce is not

also nice results give davideo3 pro and moviejack. both not free

Zardon · Dec 31, 2003, 01:46 PM

ill have to check out the cinema craft encoder........ is this part of a package? or is the encoder available for seperate purchase?

damiandimitri · Dec 31, 2003, 02:47 PM

it is a very popular encoder, it can be used as a standalone encoder or as a plugin for other software. Dvd2svcd uses it as a standalone encoder.

If i am correct you can buy a pro version and a normal one. The pro allows to multiple passes which gives better quality. NOt sure about the price though.

ALso you can use canopus procoder with dvd2svcd. Very good also, but cce2.5 is faster.
Canopus there for is eassier to handle. IT has already the settings for svcd, dvd and so on

Zardon · Dec 31, 2003, 04:07 PM

It might be just me but this app DVD2SVCD keeps crashing, im going to try a clean registry and a reinstall......

damiandimitri · Dec 31, 2003, 04:27 PM

well I normally would use DVD decrypter with virtual dub and codecs to rip and convert with no issues, and everything else is running fine. I got a hold of the craft codec and have unsuccessfully to this point tried ripping a few DVDS to the HD via the program then SVCD conversion. I have a feeling its not getting a good rip of the files, as its failing on the SVCD conversion and giving file error messages.

Ill try ripping with the old faithful DVD decrypter and then convert bypassing the ripping stage in the DVD2SVCD app, ive read the same issues on their forums with some users, might be specific to certain drives.

damiandimitri · Dec 31, 2003, 05:02 PM

dvd2svcd allows different types of extracting itself

try to change it under dvdrip tab, try to use vstrip
instead of internal routine

Dyre Straits · Dec 31, 2003, 06:39 PM

Have any of you tried this freeware?

damiandimitri · Dec 31, 2003, 06:49 PM

i did once...just to try it
it allows to make your own subs and sync them......easy if you want to translate the movie yourself

***Veridian3*** · Jan 2, 2004, 09:20 PM

I've got it working, thanks to Zardon for the link... http://www.imtoo.com/ a great app.

Zardon · Jan 2, 2004, 09:25 PM

yeah I found this app a little while ago and it really is quite incredible ! rips right from DVD while converting to XVID or DIVX, SVCD whatever. subtitles, built in limits on size, res changes, the works.

damiandimitri · Jan 2, 2004, 11:01 PM

yeah it is not bad..don't like the svcd quality much of it

Zardon · Jan 2, 2004, 11:06 PM

ive really only been using DIVX and XVID with it, couldnt get a good SVCD convertor, DVD2SVCD kept crashing for me, even with a new install, im still on the hunt for an alternative.

Zardon · Jan 3, 2004, 02:14 AM

ok I was going to start a new thread but as this thread probably has alot of the experts on thread notification, ill post it in here.

ive gotten DVD2SVCD working with cinema craft encoder 2.5 but is there anyway to remove the watermark the encoder leaves? I normally dont mind but its MASSIVE. nice quality video though !

damiandimitri · Jan 3, 2004, 10:54 AM

only when you buy it or when you use illegal ways...this is their way to force people to buy it. Clever isn't it.

Zardon · Jan 3, 2004, 01:29 PM

yeah I found that out on Doom9, think ive it working now though
