572 <para> | |
573 <application>MEncoder</application> is capable of extracting subtitles from | |
12615 | 574 a DVD into VOBsub formatted files. They consist of a pair of files ending in |
9675 | 575 <filename>.idx</filename> and <filename>.sub</filename> and are usually |
576 packaged in a single <filename>.rar</filename> archive. | |
577 <application>MPlayer</application> can play these with the | |
578 <option>-vobsub</option> and <option>-vobsubid</option> options. | |
579 </para> | |
580 | |
581 <para> | |
582 You specify the basename (i.e without the <filename>.idx</filename> or | |
583 <filename>.sub</filename> extension) of the output files with | |
584 <option>-vobsubout</option> and the index for this subtitle in the | |
585 resulting files with <option>-vobsuboutindex</option>. | |
586 </para> | |
587 | |
588 <para> | |
589 If the input is not from a DVD you should use <option>-ifo</option> to | |
590 indicate the <filename>.ifo</filename> file needed to construct the | |
591 resulting <filename>.idx</filename> file. | |
592 </para> | |
593 | |
594 <para> | |
595 If the input is not from a DVD and you do not have the | |
596 <filename>.ifo</filename> file you will need to use the | |
597 <option>-vobsubid</option> option to let it know what language id to put in | |
598 the <filename>.idx</filename> file. | |
599 </para> | |
600 | |
601 <para> | |
602 Each run will append the running subtitle if the <filename>.idx</filename> | |
603 and <filename>.sub</filename> files already exist. So you should remove any | |
604 before starting. | |

628 <para> | |
14024 | 629 DVDs and SVCDs (i.e. MPEG-1/2) files contain an aspect ratio value, which |
15329 | 630 describes how the player should scale the video stream, so humans will not |
9675 | 631 have egg heads (ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to AVI |
17039 | 632 (DivX) files, you have to be aware that AVI headers do not store this value. |
