Blu-ray subtitle conversion tool (sub2bd)

[MASTiFF0788]

Hi everyone,

First of all, thank you for developing this utility since it is very much useful. I wanted to point out a couple of things.


I tried swapping the old VSfilter with the still-in-development version found at https://github.com/pinterf/xy-VSFilter. I do have Avisynth+ (latest version as of today) installed on my system. The rendered file was unexpected.

Not only was the image mirrored and flipped, but the alignment was also changed from the bottom to the up top. I don't know why this happened; it is not a problem linked to sub2bd since the behavior was the same using avs2bdnxml CLI.
Is there any way to fix this?


The latest comments on this thread empathyze using https://github.com/cubicibo/ass2bdnxml instead of the old avs2bnxml as it is much faster; however, I noticed it doesn't crop captions properly. Here is an example:

whereas avs2bdx correctly crops the image to perfectly fit the text inside. Note that this does not happen for all captions but only for some.

Finally, I noticed that when using avs2bdnxml (but I think this applies to ass2bdnxml too) the resulting time codes of subtitle entries are off from the original values by 1/2 frames.

Hmm the problem with the flipped text sounds really familiar, I feel like I ran into it at some point. It must be in the VSFilter DLL. Maybe try using an older version to see if there is any change.

Regarding ass2bdnxml, the developer still seems to be somewhat active, perhaps try reporting that issue on Github and hope it gets fixed.

Adding the following line to the .avs file fixed the flipping:

Code:

FlipVertical()

It looks like I didn't read avs2bdnxml documentation carefully enough as it states:

If you created an RGBA video, do something like this instead:

Code:

AviSource("subtitles_RGBA.avi")
FlipVertical()
