DVD Ripper Bug in Profiles - Subtitles

[GregiBoy]

I have modified the generic.mkv.h264.audiocopy profile so that the resolutions that I want for my devices are listed.

when I do this, the ability to render the subtitles to ane xternal file disappears.

Here are the two profiles:

<profile name="generic.mkv.h264.audiocopy" version="200" device="generic" tag="dvdfab,default" description="The
profile is used to create mkv(h264 + source audio) file, which can be played on PC or supported device." >
<common>
<file format="mkv"/>
<audio copy="1" />
<video>
<encode codec="h264" fourcc="H264" bitrate_kbps="768" >
<mode value="real_time" list="real_time, high_quality" />
</encode>
</video>
</common>
<vcodec name="h264"/>
</profile>

<profile name="GadgetKings.E8HD.h264.audiocopy" version="200" device="GadgetKings" tag="dvdfab,default"
description="The profile is used to create an mkv with source audio file, which can be played on the Gadget Kings
E8HD Network & Hard Disk Media Player." >
<common>
<file format="mkv"/>
<audio copy="1" />
<video>
<size list="720x400,720x576" />
<encode codec="h264" fourcc="H264" bitrate_kbps="1400" minbitrate_kbps="1200" maxbitrate_kbps="1800" >
<mode value="high_quality" list="real_time, high_quality" />
</encode>
</video>
</common>
<vcodec name="h264"/>
</profile>

The only difference is the size list line.

Anyone got any ideas??

Yes. When you changing (reducing) size/resolution, subtitles (essentially the font) has to be re-sized too. Your profile obviously doesn't provide that command, and as a result - broken string.

[GregiBoy]

Not a change in size...

I can select those resolutions fine using the generic profile and extract to either an external file or hard render it.

It may have something to do with this also.

Fab reports the resolution incorrectly.
Original Frame Resolution (1024¡Á576)

I reported this bug years ago.

[GregiBoy]

Have just confirmed that it is nothing to do with the size

I deleted this line:-
<size list="720x400,720x576" />

And added this line:-
<outfps mode="1" />

And the same problem occurs........

[IPopov50]

Well, could be. Until we will have a Me-like GUI with all the tweaks, we will be running on bugs like this one here and there. As any other commercial software, lot of parameters are hard-coded, which is limiting tweaking and GUI flexibility. It's a "necessary evil" considering amount of work Fengtao put into writing CUDA codecs and new libraries....

BUMP !!! For the Developers !!!

Fengtao/Ting

have you seen this thread?

[signals]

I remember a bug like this in v4 or 5, the subs would not render for any output >700 pixels wide, but it was finally fixed I thought. Perhaps the same thing has crept back in. ??

[GregiBoy]

Nope that is not the problem.

If I use the generic profile untouched at 720 x XXX resolution, I can output them to an external SUB/IDX file.

If i add either of these lines into the profile:-

<size list="720x400,720x576" />
<outfps mode="1" />

The option to output to an external file disappears.

Further testing seems to indicate that if I add anything into the video section of the profile, this problem occurs.
