A: If you are willing to use dvobsub too, right click on the inf and select install. Otherwise, copy vobsub.dll into you system folder. The interface dlls are for ...
... VirtualDub: vobsub_vd.vdf
... AviUtl: vobsub_au.auf
... Avisynth: vobsub.dll (no need to copy it anywhere, Avisynth can load this from the system folder when no path is specified)
Q: I open the IFO, but nothing happens???
A: The plugin tries to locate VOBs after the name of the IFO. If you have vts_01_0.ifo, then it will search for vts_01_0.vob, vts_01_1.vob, ... OR vts_01_00.vob, vts_01_01.vob, ...
Q: What is that red box in the config dialog on the right?
A: First, you can drag it holding the left button or change align mode with the right. Second, it has two meanings: If the align button is turned off, it symbolizes the full screen area (0,0)-(720,576or480). Subtitles can appear anywhere inside as it is defined in the VOBs. That's why if you move it up a little, just above the lower black bar, some subs on the top won't stay on the srceen. To solve this, use the aligned mode, where the red box only shows the orientation. Your subs will appear in that region from the crossed lines.
Q: I save my project in AviUtl to be frameserved, but no subs appear???
A: AviUtl's plugin SDK comes with Japanese comments and I can't understand how to do the saving... To solve this you just have to upgrade to a newer version which supports saving the last config into the registry.
Q: The subs are out of sync!
A: That can be tough to solve. But if you are using smartripper, dvd2avi and pushed the wide button in the middle for indexing, then it will surely be ok. If still not, look into the idx file and read the comments.
Q: Fade in/out makes me crazy!
A: Turn it off then...
Q: What format is your sub file? Can I insert my own bitmaps?
A: It is only a stripped vob containing only the subtitle related blocks. And no.
Q: I have neither VirtualDub nor AviUtl and don't know anything about notepad, how could I modify the settings confortably?
A: Get into a command line (command.com, far, win commander, ...), go to the folder where the plugin is located, and type "rundll32 vobsub.dll,Configure".
Q: I'm writing batch files to automate ripping process, is there a way to add vobsub on the list?
A: Use the "rundll32 vobsub.dll,Configure" command but also specify a parameter file as an argument. Look into vobsub-auto.txt for more.
Q: Why can't this plugin use textual subtitles?
A: Just convert into SSA and use Avery Lee's "subtitler" plugin.
