Step 1: Convert SRT to SSA
1. Load your SRT file in SRT to SSA converter (The program's title is actually Conversor SRT a SSA).
2. Choose the output directory and filename.
3. Adjust the settings as you would like. I just changed the font color from yellow to white though.
4. Click Convert
If you get the error Input file error, subtitle # 1, open the SRT file in notepad and change the encoding from unicode to ANSI.
Step 2: Hard Code Subtitle
- If you haven't, install Subtitler by copying the .vdf file to the Plugins folder of virtual dub.
1. Open the video file in VirtualDub
2. Go to Video->Filters, load Subtitler and load your SSA file where it says Sub Station Alpha v2.x/4.x filename. Yes, that means the SSA filename.
3. Also in the Video menu, click Full Processing.
4. Still in the Video menu, click Compression and choose compatible to the video file . Adjust the settings as you would like. But I otherwise keep it on default.
8. Click File->Save as AVI.
9. Choose the output directory and filename. Click Save.
It should now start processing. You may want to unselect Show input video andShow output video to increase performance.
