Does anyone here use Media Subtitler? It's a great little freeware application for adding subtitles to videos.
Anyway that's enough free publicity from me. I'm having problems embedding the subtitles in the video. I've saved the subtitles as an .ssa file, I've downloaded VirtualDub and the filter, I've loaded the video and the subtitles into Media Subtitler and set it up to point to the VirtualDub folder, but when I click on OK to begin the embedding process, I get "Can't open script file".
Alternatively, does anyone know of any other freeware to embed .ssa or .str subtitle files in an mpg video?
Thanks.
Not into MPEG, but into AVI or Matroska containers, http://alexander-noe.com/video/amg/
Fantastic! That looks like just what I need.
Thank you very much, dasjoe.
EDIT: I didn't use this in the end. The encoding was really bad quality, even on the best quality setting. I found out that I was using an out-of-date version of VirtualDub and that I also needed an extra plug-in to handle MPEG-2. But I got it done in the end and I'm very happy with the result.
