I thought it should be easier, like a Filter "Text" or "Title" (as the "Logo" one). I can't think about it doesn't exist !
It looks hard for me (mux, gux... looks like some cumcumber parts
), but I will try because I need it ! | Printable Version of Topic

| Hello everybody ! I think my question is so stupid that I can't find any answer because I don't know what to search for ! Well, I need to add a different title to many videos (short, only name of some guys in a horse race). I don't want to create a BMP file for each, to use with Logo filter. If there is a way I can do this (I don't care where the title will be, top, bottom...) please tell me ! I'm very beginner to VirtualDub, and I only understood how to transform a DV avi (made from DVIO) to a divX avi for web. Thanks a lot... |

i think thats one of the ways it can be done... why do you not want to use this? do you want the title to appear only in the beginning or constantly? |

| OK, I've got approximately 500 videos Do you see me making 500 bitmaps ??? |

actually, creating image file with a name (just a text) requires 10-15 seconds. Just type your text in any text editor, then grab this text into bitmap (PrintScreen or Alt-PrntScr), crop this bitmap in any image editor and save into bmp. Too long? But... there are other ways how to add, let me say, a 'name' for your videos... 1. VDMod can add a title, author's name and other comments to your video... Goto Streams -> Stream List -> Comments -> Title. The problem is that not all players show you this info (WMP, MPClassic are suitable). VDub does not provide an opportunity to add such comments. 2. Subtitles... Your can create simple *.SRT file with the following content 1 00:00:00,000 --> Your Clip Duration: say, 00:05:12,126 Your title and mux this subtitle stream inside the videocontainer (OGM or MKV). Again, use should use VDMod (or OGMmux, or MKVmerge). Such subtitles are usually processed by VSFilter (auto-loading version) 3. Chapters... If you prefer to mux all your videos into a single file, you can use videochapters. it is some kind of bookmarks which helps for fast navigation. Everything you need is to create a chapter file (just text with the chapter titles and the time when a certain chapter begins). During a playback, you will have an opportunity to jump on a certain chapter (a 'name' is usually displayed by videoplayers). Tools to mux the chapter stream: VDubMod, or OGMmux, or MKVmerge... You can certanly combine these methods. Good Luck! |

it does exist... what you are talking about is the filter to add the so-called 'hard' subtitles. this filter reads a text-file (i wrote an example) and adds a corresponding text to videoimage. but in order to use filters, you have to re-compress video (Video -> Full Processing Mode)... it would take MUCH more time than just adding separate streams ('soft' subtitles and/or chapters) to videocontainers (OGM and MKV) which support such multistreaming. If my words are still like "mux-gux", try to search the threads using keywords "soft" and "hard" subtitles (or, briefly, subs). |

| Thanks. This filter ask me for a SSA file. I guess it should contain my subtitle. But how do I wrote this file ? Is it like the SRT one ? |

| ssa is a different subtitle format (it contains a little bit more data about the colors and size of your subs) heres a http://www.divx-digest.com/software/srt2ssa.html for srt to ssa |
