Hi,
After using Txt2VobSub with default colors as shown:


When loading the SUB\IDX on my player (DIVX 5000) i see in the bottom of the subtitle line a thin black shadow.
This shadow also appear in the right of the sibtitle line.

What do i need to change in the Txt2VobSub or in the Son2VSub in order to conceal the shadow?

can i have an snapshot of that kind of subtitle ? thanks ...
Did you triyed to upgrade your firmware of your player ?

I have the must updated firmware.

1 be sure that your encoding for non Unicode application is set to your language
control panel > regional and language options > advanced tab after setting this option restart is required

2. open your subtitle in subtitle workshop and with ctrl+i correct errors which is present in almost all subtitles. some errors you need to correct manually and be aware that you find all subtitles which contains more then 40 characters (you can set this option in settings of program there is 3 places to be set)

3. after you refine your title save it but in ssa (substation alpha format save target as)

4 open substation alpha as first time you use this program set your style

be sure you name it same as your film is named
burn on some rewritable dvd for testing
and try if you have same effect there is a bug in application which txt2vobsub use for creation it is not authors mistake
if not ....

I know that this sound little complicated but it is not

AVISUB is muxing the subs in the video file, i want to do that externally without touching the video.

who talk about avisub?

this section is about txt2vobsub

you have complete procedure to make *.idx and *.sub (vobsub subtitle file which is graphical format) files which is externally placed in folder where you place video of course you have to name it same as your video

for your knowledge you do not touch video with avisub
sub is placed in video file like sub stream
something like you have video with mp3 and ac3 sound on it
you simply have to open virtual dub ( virtual dub modulated is more reliable for this kind of job)
set video direct stream copy and remux your video
and strip subtitle stream within
to place subtitle to picture of your avi file you must have to re-encode your avi file which is not case otherwise it will take hours instead of couple of minutes to do this job

divx 6 sub or XSUB like it called officially is separate stream in avi file
same as chapters or any divx certified solution just an add feature
so if you have opportunity to use avisub use it
it do not make any difference to play on computer or other dvd/divx standalone player even if this player do not have option to reproduce XSUB's subtitle stream will be just ignored
