I want a plugin that will handle the simplest of all sub formats. Subtitler works only with SSA files which is a very complicated format. I assumed Subtitlere would accept truncated SSA files with useless fields removed (for example would handle a missing font name field by loading the Windows Default font, usually Arial) such as font, bold, position, color, etc, and by useless I mean only needed for anime and other pirated movie subs, but not needed for general putting text into a video. But it didn't work. If those fields are missing, Subtitler regards the file as corrupt and refuses to use it.

If I want to in general put text into my video and don't really care about the font, color, position etc used, I think the file format I'll want to use will be STL (see http://documentation.apple.com/en/dvdstudi...section_13.html for documentation on this VERY simple subtitle format).

Now could someone with the programming skills needed to write a VirtualDub plugin, please make one that is capable of working with STL subitle files. Thanks in advance.

You should try tu use the SRT format, wich is very simple, don't need any font or anything.
Get directvobsub here : http://xhmikosr.1f0.de/mpc-hc/mpc-hc_apps/vsfilter/
Install it, copy the "vsfilter.dll" in the "pluggin" (or "pluggin32" or "pluggin64" according what VDub version you use) directory of VDub, and rename it to "vsfilter.vdf". In VDub filter choose "TextSub Gabest", you'll have the best and most up to date subtitle engine for PC for ASS, and you can also use other format, as simple as SRT.

An exemple of SRT is syntax is :
CODE

1
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,150
CENTRAL PARTNERSHIP
présente

2
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,993
Une production
SHAMAN PICTURES

3
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:40,159
SVETLANA IVAN0VA

4
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,910
IVAN ZHIDK0V

5
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,797
ELENA PAN0VA

etc...
