Hi, first of all congratulations and thank you very much for that amazing tool, it's really cool!!!!

I have a question, is there any way to add subtitles to the movie?

I've tried adding using menconder option: -sub "subtitle.srt" but nothing happens, mencoder detects all subtitles but when it finished encoding my PSP doesn't show it

thanks in advance

I tried the same thing with the same results, what gives?
This really needs subtitle support, but moreover it needs to remember your settings, especially skin changing since I have to change the skin every time I open the program.

I agree and support the idea that some feature that could include subtitles in the movie would be a very important and useful upgrade for users than not have english as mother language.

Hope that it will be included shortly...

Goto the and key in this to the General Video Option:

-subpos 85 -subfont-text-scale 4 -subfont-blur 2 -subfont-outline 2 -unicode -font "C:\yourfont" -sub "sample.srt"

C:\yourfont > must find yourself
sample.srt > your movie sub

Tryed eith the settings:

I was expiriencing the same problem and found the solution:
use old build of mencoder (new builds don't recognise this commands) and make new dir "mplayer" in the directory of mencoder (if there no such dir). Put there your font and name it "subfont.ttf", so you don't need any more -font "C:\windowns\fonts" command. That's all - for me it's working...

thanks

Why is it that when I try to convert a vob to pmp, I see alot of 'duplicate frame' messages in the dos window?

wow this app it sure great and have quite evolve since the first version.
If I may complain about one thing, it the user interface: i'm using a laptop at 1024*768 resolution and it's really not eyecandy to have a program whose size can't be adujsted or the skin function who just change the backroung.
But i'm not critisize, as a matter of fact I can't wait for the newest version; this apps haven't failed me once, thanks a lot for taking the time to do it!!!

is there any way to choose a DVD's -aid and -sid when decoding from VOB?
i want to choose a different audio track from the DVD that i'm decoding and english subtitles too.
is there any option you can put in to PMP Simple that anyone knows works?

pegasus · Post by **pegasus** » Wed Mar 22, 2006 6:20 pm

i already wrote a guide for direct dvd to pmp here using this software

http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/about23624.html

you can add -aid and -sid after -dvd-device "x:" to the general video box

chrizchun · Post by **chrizchun** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 3:23 pm

i had to use dvd://2
and the commands -aid and -sid did not work.
but you lead me in the right direction...
i found this

−alang <language code[,language code,...]> (also see −aid)

Specify a priority list of audio languages to use. Different container formats employ different language codes. DVDs use ISO 639-1 two letter language codes, Matroska and NUT use ISO 639-2 three letter language codes while OGM uses a free-form identifier. MPlayer prints the available languages when run in verbose (−v) mode.

EXAMPLE:

mplayer dvd://1 −alang hu

in my case i used -dvd-device f: -alang jap
thank you thank you
BUT, still no subtitles. i can't get -slang to work
i tried -slang en
i tried -slang eng

any idea?

chrizchun · Post by **chrizchun** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 6:33 pm

maybe one of these commands????
-vobsubout <basename>
-vobsuboutid <langid>
-vobsuboutindex <index>

oddly, when i launch my DVD i cannot choose the subtitle cause there's only 1. i can only turn it on or off from the menu. here's a view of my DVD
is there something i can do with these .IFO files???

pegasus · Post by **pegasus** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 9:05 pm

r u sure you hav jap subtitle in ur DVD???

well i use -slang en and it works pretty fine wit me..

well if i remembered correctly the code for japanese language is jp so...

-slang jp
-alang jp

what do u mean by this?

chrizchun · Post by **chrizchun** » Mon Mar 27, 2006 2:35 pm

in my DVD player, or in Windows Media player...
when in the Menu, you go to choose to turn on subtitles...
i noticed there's only an ON/OFF option on this DVD.
maybe this is the reason why the -slang option is not working.
as for language codes... jap worked fine for me.
so i don't know, maybe it's just this one DVD.

silentcovenant · Post by **silentcovenant** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 6:39 am

Does anyone know why Simple PMP fails to create my .pmp files when I add try to encode the files using qscale? I add :vqscale 3 to the command switches area and it doesn't render... It'll run through the first thing, something about Skipping Frames, but the second time around just blinks the command prompt and the final one too. If I try to tell Simple PMP to transfer the encoded, or in this case non encoded, file it'll say that it doesn't exist. What am I doing wrong?

pegasus · Post by **pegasus** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 2:05 pm

-lavcopts vqscale=3

chrizchun · Post by **chrizchun** » Sat Apr 01, 2006 2:59 pm

i've given up on trying the subtitles thing on that one DVD.
i'm pretty sure problems are DVD specific... and i'm also pretty sure you were right about -slang option pegasus (if you're still checking the forum)

but here's a new question. i'm trying to rip certain episodes from a DVD of mine..
and before ripping the whole DVD ...mencoder states
"There are 9 titles on this DVD..."
"There are 6 chapters in this DVD title."

how do i chose a DVD title (which i am assuming are the actual episodes)?
i already tried -title 2 etc. and that didn't work.

update: i figured it out.... so dumb.
when chosing the number for dvd://? ?=title
me so smart.

wulfie · Post by **wulfie** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 9:22 pm

Is there going to be an update to this now that pmp mod 2.0 is out?

chrizchun · Post by **chrizchun** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 7:33 am

Aight, here's the deal (again. this time with another DVD that i need to rip to PMP)

like most of my DVD's, their are multiple audio tracks...but instead of choosing them with -alang i've noticed a trend in DVDs having many titles,
15 or more depending on the language. for example, if i want to rip Episode 4 of an anime with japanese audio from *un-named DVD*, i simply choose title 14 "dvd://14". wierd, i know. i simply use Media Player Classic to play the DVD and when i pick the episode and language i want, i can navigate to see what title is playing. so basically, for my DVDs i got the whole language thing taken care of.

BUT!, i still can't get subtitles "-slang" to work.
i've noticed that with the two DVDs i have been working on, there is no subtitle languages in the DVDs Menu to choose from. There is only Subtitle On/Off. i'm thinking this might be the root of my problem.

is there an option to just turn -sub on or something?

pegasus · Post by **pegasus** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 1:11 am

try -sid 0, -sid 1 and so on.

see if it's work

might check out my guide

thank you, you were dead on with -sid 0.
but it seems that with every step forward i encounter new problems.

this time, i'm noticing that i'm losing audio syncronization.
i've tried every possible video option combination.
i'm trying to convert a single episode from my Ghost in the Shell DVD and i've noticed that during the mencoding i get frequently occuring messages stating:

"demux_mpg: 24000/1001fps progressive NTSC content detected, switching framerate."
"Warning! FPS changed 23.976 -> 29.970"

maybe this is the reason why have really bad audio sync?
is there an option i can use to get around this audio sync problem?

thanks again!
