Cut few minutes and embed subtitles at the same time

[tanin]

Hi,
Is it possible to cut a portion from a movie and at the same time embed subtitles for that part?

Thanks in advance

Yes.Load the file in Virtualdub.Select Video/Full processing mode.Then Video/Filters.Add Textsub or Vobsub filter and load the subtitle file(ensuring that the timing matches the sequence of the part you wish to keep by previewing the filtered output).Next select Video/Compression and configure the codec.Then select the part you wish to keep and save as avi.There is no way you can hardcode the avi without reencoding.

When I try to do that I get "statsfile not found" and then "cannot start video compression: the operation is not supported(error code -1)".

Any ideas?

You are trying to do a Two pass encoding without specifying the position to save the First Pass "statsfile". Either specify the path OR do a single pass encoding.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying. Specify the path for the avi file to save?

Which codec are you using for compression?

[tanin]

Which codec are you using for compression?

XivD MPEG-4 Codec.

edit: I just tried using DivX 5.2.1 codec and it works fine, but the problem is that the video that I saved has a very small audio delay.
edit 2: The part with the delayed audio was 3 minutes. When I tried shorter segements(around 30 sec.) there was no visible/audible delay.
edit 3: I just tried another video with the same results.

Are you compressing the audio or doing a Direct Stream Copy? What is the format of the original audio ? Better still,give the original file info using Mediainfo.

For the audio I use direct steam copy.
I also tried disabling the audio/video interleaving, but apparently there's still a delay.

As I had suspected, the audio is VBR. Virtualdub does not like VBR audio. Use AVIDemux instead.It will ask you to build Time map. Click YES to that.

When I edit the movie there is no sound, is that normal?
And is there a way to use subtitles for the output file?

Thanks in advance...

[paglamon]

In AVIDemux ? Yes.
Video/Filters/Subtitles/Subtitler.

Video/Filters/Subtitles/Subtitler.

Thanks again.
I finally used a version of virtualdub called vdub-mp3-freeze, and apparently it works fine.

[paglamon]

Glad it worked out for you.I have no experience with Vdubmp3.I have got used to AVIDemux for these problem files.Maybe I will need Vdubmp3 someday.Thanks to you for pointing towards this.

[tanin]

I'm trying to use AVIDemux now for a certain file, but I get no audio when I preview the movie. Why is that?
