Hardcoding Subtitles (Adding Subtitles to a Video) & MKV to AVI - Encoding Using MeGUI Part 2

[MrRigrot]

If you have a VFR file and you cannot find one that isn't what would you suggest? Other than that this guide has been a great help.

[kurdprownage]

when i put my .avs file into MeGUI it says: unexpected charachter'' ''

please help me

[SOSphantom]

@kurdprownage With the program I was using, when it said it had an unexpected character, it was because the file of my video had a forward slash (/), and my Windows XP computer doesn't allow characters like that to be placed, so it couldn't read it.

I highly doubt that is the problem, and I'm sure you've already solved your problem... but this might help (lol).

[demon6937]

why the audio is delayed and not going with subtitiles?

[that1guytim]

@demon6937 Most likely your source video is a VFR (Variable Frame Rate) which is a pain in the arse to deal with. I would suggest finding out first if that's what it is and if it is, then just try to find a different source that is constant frame rate.

@that1guytim c'mon i'm not really an expert to this i guess this tutorial is not working for me or i rather surrender and learn japanese

[lilmissanimelover102]

It keeps telling me that there is a script error:expected a,or ) can you please help me?

[SuperAlphamale13]

when i go to update it

it tells me to unpack a neroenc.exe file some where

where exactly do i put this at

[flowEdit]

It says there is no function called DSS2 and the other one doesnt work:(

help please?

[that1guytim]

@flowEdit You need a dll file that comes with haali media splitter called avss.dll Download and install Haali Media Splitter then go to it's folder and copy that dll file over to your avisynth plugins directory. After that DSS2 will work.

@that1guytim I've done exactly what you told flowEdit and it still doesn't work, what am I doing wrong?!

[harthaljas]

Question, how do I hardcode them if I want to eventually get MP4 format? Trying to get 1080p Avatar (15GB) to mp4 with hardcoded subtitles to play on my PS3...so any help?

[that1guytim]

@harthaljas Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure what the problem is exactly that you're having. If avisynth tells you there's an error, what error does it say and what is your avisynth script? To encode it to h264 mp4 all you need to do is find a ps3 x264 profile from the dropdown list and select it, then encode it. The script should be the same. I'm not sure why you're having problems encoding to ac3. Go into your megui folder and make sure there's something there for ac3.

[hafreak]

there is no function named textsub. HELP!!! T_T

[that1guytim]

@hafreak You need to put vsfilter into your avisynth plugins folder.

[DarkFuture69]

What encoder settings should I use if I use mkv as the file format in Video encoding?

[that1guytim]

@DarkFuture69 Whatever you want. You can pick whichever one if you're going to encode the video directly into an MKV. You'll still have to mux the audio and video together in the end. Either way, MKV will accept any of the video types so encode in whatever you want.

[DarkFuture69]

Your right, it works with AC3 scratchpad. But now, I have an avisynth script error when opening it up in the video input: there is no function named "DSS2". :(

[that1guytim]

@DarkFuture69 Try using direcshowsource instead of DSS2

[DarkFuture69]

While trying to encode my audio when I first open up MeGUI & hit enqueue botton, I get the status back as error???

[that1guytim]

@DarkFuture69 Have you read what the error is? Can you write that out? Try encoding to a different audio type and see if it works. Try something like AC3 scratchpad. If that works, what you can do if you only want to upload these to youtube is then merge the video and audio as an MKV and upload it to youtube when it's done. It'll work because the subs are hardcoded into the video.

I know I've had trouble encoding to MP3 for a while with MeGUI so I got Xilisoft Audio Converter to do MP3.
