Subtitle help with virtual dub

HIi HAVE GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF ADDING SUBTITLES TO MY AVI FILE. i MANAGE TO COMPLETE IT BUT WHEN I GO TO PREVIEW IT BEFORE SAVING. tHE SUBTITLES ARE IN A COMPLETE DIFFERENT LANGUAUGE. i HAVE pUT GREEK SUBTITLES AND THE LETTERING THAT COMES UP IS NOT GREEK.
WHEN I PLAY THE AVI FILE IN MEDIA PLAYER AND DIVX THE SUBS ARE FINE WITH CORRECT LETTERING. CAN SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME!!

 

Assuming that your using .srt file and the TextSub filter;open the file and click 'styles' then under the Font heading, select 'Greek' from the drop down menu.

 

where should i open the file?

 

After you have started the TextSub filter and loaded the Greek language .srt file, click 'Styles', then select the correct language.
The displayed subs (in the preview) will change from gibberish to the correct language code.
Note that the image shown is not relevant to the Greek subs.

 

i downloaded vobsub and it didnt have the textsub filter i need.
I cant find the textsub filter to add into virtual dub. \its driving me nuts. Where can i get this filter from

 

It's an option when installing VOBSub.

the link didnt help me.
An option ? can i download the filter and add it into virtualdub?

 

hey
I figured it out. its working, thanks

 

Okey-dokey.

 

I have followed all the instructions about this textsub filter..but my vdubmod will not open up the textsub setting window (where the styles button is)..any idea how i could fix this?

 

The installation of VobSub includes the option for VirtualDub.
If VirtualDub is not included during the VobSub installation, then 'TextSub' will not be listed as a filter in VirtualDub.

Is 'TextSub...' a listed choice in the filters list?
If it's listed, highlighted and 'OK' pressed, is the TextSub menu offered?

Can you click 'Open' and load the .srt file?

Only after the .srt file is loaded will the 'Style' button become available.
