Hello, I know how to encode subtitles from a "real" DVD. But I just made a DVD with dvdauthor with subtitles in it, I can play them with mplayer mplayer -sid 0 -dvd-device ./DVD dvd://1 But I can't mencode them. Usually I use this script : ############ !/bin/bash # langue parlée audiolang='en' piste='-dvd-device ./DVD dvd://1' bitrate='1200' crop='720:436:0:70' sid='0' temps='-ss 100 -frames 500' mencoder -vobsubout soustitres -vobsuboutindex 0 -sid $sid\ -o frameno.avi $temps -ovc frameno -oac mp3lame -lameopts br:br=320 $piste nice -19 mencoder -ovc lavc \ -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=$bitrate:vhq:vqmin=2:vlelim=-4:vcelim=9:lumi_mask=0.05:dark_mask=0.01:autoaspect:vpass=1\ -oac copy -o /dev/null -vf crop=$crop $temps $piste nice -19 mencoder -ovc lavc \ -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=$bitrate:vhq:vqmin=2:vlelim=-4:vcelim=9:lumi_mask=0.05:dark_mask=0.01:autoaspect:vpass=2\ -vobsubout sous-titres -vobsuboutindex 0 -sid $sid\ -oac copy -o film.avi -vf crop=$crop $temps $piste ################ Here is what mplayer -v said about the created DVD: MPlayer dev-CVS-031130-11:22-3.2.2 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon 4 /Athlon MP/XP Palomino 1468 MHz (Family: 6, Stepping: 2) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE Reading config file /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayer.confReading config file /home/nico/.mplayer/config Reading /home/nico/.mplayer/codecs.conf: Reading /usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: Using built-in default codecs.conf.
