.SRT subtitle format created by SubRip program, which uses optical character recognition technology to rip or extract subtitles and their timings from.VOB video files or DVDs. While SSA, abbreviation of SubStation Alpha (or Sub Station Alpha), is another subtitle file format that allows for more advanced subtitles than the conventional SRT and similar formats. Most important, SSA is supported and readable by VirtualDub, an advanced and popular video editing tool, and provides best subtitles quality. Thus occasionally, the following subtitles converters to convert.SRT format to.SSA format will be needed.SRT to SSA ConverterSRT to SSA Converter is a program to convert subtitles from Subrip’s format (SRT) to SSA format, adding subtitles format and colors or other format characteristics. Selected format characteristics will then appear in the program which shows the subtitles.

Well, then make a rendered 2D sub (assuming it's a graphic sub and not a text-only sub), open in a graphics editor and move the sub(s) over to the LEFT by a few pixels (you'll have to play with this to get the Z-depth to the sweet spot of your preference) and save a copy. Take the original (to be used as 'Left' image) and the copy (to be used as 'right' image) and combine them Side by side (or T/B if that's your intended layout) and then squeeze back down to what would be the original 2D dimension (since the combination file would have one dimension twice as big). DONE!If this still isn't seen, it could be that your 3D player simply doesn't support subs WHILE IN 3D MODE.Scottedit: if it only supports text-based subs, you're SOL.2nd edit.UNLESS you were to fiddle with the sub so that it repeated itself. I think we all need to be clear (I'm not yet) about WHICH kinds of subs your player+TV combination can use, and under what circumstances.For example:if your player supports BD subs (PGS), but only when playing BD or AVCHD material, then that is of no use to you if you are trying to play MKV material.
This is an online subtitle converter that comes in handy when you are just looking for basic functions. You can switch the language of the site to Japanese, German, Italian, Dutch, Malay and English of course. The conversion formats supported by the site include.txt (MicroDVD),.sub(MicroDVD),.srt(SubRip),.mpl.
The PGS would have to be exported/converted to a format that, when played ALONG WITH the MKV, will still be supported, right?I'm guessing that's what you meant when referring to SRT (at least in 2D mode). If the TV has built-in support for BD3D (along with its 3D subtitles) via either:1.
A built-in Blu-ray drive, or2. Support for BDMV disc/file/folder structure stored on FlashDrive/USB/HDDThen one surefire way for this to work to convert BACK from MKV to BD3D (using to supply the 3D subtitles).
To do this you would need to Re-Author to a BD3D-compliant structure (M2TS+SSIF in BDMV root folder, etc). Very few apps can do this (I lean toward, but I'm not sure even it can support subtitles in 3D). You might be stuck having to go the route ($$$$!!).If that way is NOT the way you want to go, then you'll have to find out just what ELSE your TV supports in 3D mode. Do you know for a fact that it supports MKV at all? Do you know for a fact that it supports SRT along with MKV files (not along with BD3D)?If it supports the last item, then you should follow my last suggestion.Scott. I think we may be having a little language problem, so let's back up to the beginning.Do a test:1. Does your TV's internal player support MKV files?
If no, you're stuck. If yes, go to next question.2. Does it support MKV files with ANY type of subtitles? If no - stuck, if yes, next question.3.
Does it support MKV files with SRT subtitles? No = stuck, yes= next.4.
Does it support MKV 3D files (no subs)? No = stuck, yes = next.5. Does it support MKV 3D files with 2D srt subs? No = stuck, yes = next.If you made it this far, what you have to do is follow what I said in the posts above and MANUALLY modify the srt file to include the space?& word repetition. Then you're ready!Is it SAFE?
I don't know what you mean.Is it easy? Will it get you what you want? Maybe, but that is the best you can get right now.Scott.
Yes it did if it doesn't so what the point to make this topic/thread?02. It does support srt, ass Based on the manual of this tv page 247/318.03. Yes it did.04. Yes it did and if you press the 3D button on remote controll it show the movie 3d or 2d into half left/right screens. By my test it support fine the srt subtitle but at 3d sbs mkv files it shows it as 2d subtitle and NOT as 3d subtitle so.05. Yes as i tallied you at 4Please based on the above tell me step by step what i must do to see at sbs 3d mkv files 3D SUBTITLES.I have try these filesWith no result at all.It played normall all the files as 3d but with no subs at all. Because lots of people post here thinking their stuff is doing one thing (based on what they THINK is going on) when in fact something else is happening.2.
Sorry, 'It's Greek to Me'. Is there an English manual anywhere?3. You WANT it to show a 2D subtitle. I'm pretty sure that, not counting BD3D, is CAN'T support any other type of 3D subtitle, so you want to create a 2D subtitle that is already PRE-FORMATTED to match the Side-By-Side images of the 3D video background.5. I'm not going to tell you step-by-step, because there are 20+ different applications where you can edit SRT subs, most all of them competent enough for this job. Pick one and go with it.Like I said in post #8 above, start with your 2D sub, then on EACH LINE:1.
Duplicate the words on the lineSave the file to a new name and That's IT.The trick is in the amount of spacing, because that determines the disparity between the centering on the left-hand side vs. The centering on the righ-hand side.
If there is no disparity (aka BOTH sides are centered in their respective half-screens) this is the same as a standard 2D sub shown in 2D where the plane of the sub resides on the screen plane. If there is positive disparity (positive parallax) it will move the image further and further into the background (behind the plane of the screen image). If there is negative disparity (negative parallax) it will move the image further and further into the foreground (in front of the plane of the screen image).You DON'T want to have too much positive parallax, because then your eyes are trying to diverge (an un-natural occurrence which causes fatigue/pain) and messes up your brain (how would it be possible to be BEYOND INFINITY?).And for subtitles, it makes the most sense for them to be situated IN FRONT OF the images on the video. Since the 3D images are sometimes in the background, sometimes at the screen plane, and sometimes in the foreground (and sometimes multiple places in the same shot), you may have to 'RIDE' the spacing to make the subs image FLOAT in front of whatever is going on.But of course, you DON'T want to have too much negative disparity either (people aren't used to crossing their eyes that much!!). So there's a limit.This limit will vary from film to film and from shot to shot (and you can occasionally push the limit for a VERY brief amount of time).That's why I said you had to do it manually!! You'll have to make those adjustments ONE-BY-ONE until they seem right for your eyes.
It's a Trial-by-error thing.And don't think that there are any MAGIC WANDS or apps that the professionals use that pick and fix this up automatically. They have to do it manually also - even for BD3D subs. The only difference there is that the sub keeps just the one 2D copy of the text in the file, and then also keeps the 'Disparity' info as a Postive, Negative, or Zero number, so that the BD player AUTOMATICALLY generates internally the 2 subs images at the right disparity level. Kind of like how can keep track of the gain (and can be adjusted separately without modifying the original essence data).BTW, your upload link seems to not be working.

Just shows a BLANK page.Don't get what you mean by that last item - was that referring to what was uploaded?Scott. The guide you mentioned is meant for making IDX/SUB GRAPHIC-type subs, specifically for use by the player, such that when you play a SbS video (which is fundamentally a 2D video, only being 3D when manually adjusted at the TV), it (the VLC player) OVERLAYS in the player onto the video. This makes the video being sent (over HDMI, DVI, VGA etc) include the 'hard-coded' or 'burned-in' sub.This is NOT like what you are trying to do, since your 'player' in question is your TV itself. Thus, you cannot use this guide.
It has already been made clear that you cannot use IDX/SUB types of subs. And it would not be smart to try to do an OCR of those if you ALREADY have a 2D srt source (much more time involved, errors introduced, etc).I keep saying: you WANT to use the 2D srt subs - NOT the original 2D srt subs you started with, but the 'modified' 2D srt subs that I walked you through.
Since you already know that your player supports '2D' mkvs and '2D' srt subs, you should be showing SbS MKVs (which are again, FUNDAMENTALLY a 2D signal) and SbS SRTs (which are again, FUNDAMENTALLY a 2D signal). When shown in '3D - SbS' mode, they should BOTH be shown in 3D. If only the video (MKV) is shown in 3D, and the sub continues to show just a SbS duplication of data, it is the fault of your TV's hardware/firmware and nothing can be done about it until the manufacturer decides to change it.Scott.
What can you do? You've already asked and I've already answered.1. Open the SRT in a text or subs editor of your choice.2. Duplicate the line. IOW, 'Sample Text Here' becomes 'Sample Text HereSample Text Here'.3.
Start Adding spaces until each segment (the Left side, and the Right) are Centered in their respective half-frames.4. Choose to either add or subtract more spaces until it is visually appropriate for the underlying video.5. Save as a new SRT (a '3D' srt, if you will).6.
Use the new, '3D' srt along with the SbS Mkv, and switch your TV into SbS 3D mode.That's ALL you can do, sounds simple but it isn't. It's a LOT of trial-and-error until it looks right TO YOU.Thus, there is NO SUCH THING as a simple program to do this. There is NO easy way to do this. And it may not get much easier in the future, either. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.That's pretty much all I can help you with this problem. If you keep repeating the same questions, though, I'll probably stop answering.Scott. The use of the /n switch will be problematic where long subtitle strings will need to be split.Example:His interest was in the balance and harmony of nature.What it will need to become for sbs, indicates space adjustment:His interest was in the balance His interest was in the balance Nand harmony of nature.
And harmony of nature.Result:It will be a matter of getting the spacing correct, thou this will still not be 3D because there is no Zdepth unless the tv supports some form of function when set in 3D mode when given 2D source.Cornucopia has covered the rest.

Doesn't work that way at all with my lg 3d bluray player and samsung 3d tv.
That method would only work if you then burned the subs into the video. To fix srt subs for 3d i add 40 spaces before each text line in the srt file using notepad so the subs only display on the right, as the proportional spacing of the text is impossible to line up using both left and right. Other subtitle formats don't play at all, like sup or sub.

Sorry for being completely out of topic but, from which movie is this screenshot?On topic: I have an LG 3D TV and subtitles produced by (with side-by-side movies) work like charm.(edit) It would be virtually impossible to make it through spacing because1) Even if you do manage to match pixel-to-pixel the correct positions for (say) the first subtitlethis won't be true for the second!2) Using fonts you don't have that much control (that is required) over the exact pixel that you must position your subtitleBtw, Z-depth isn't much of a trouble.
Provided that you have the correct placement for right and left subtitles you just add between them some space (meaning expand equally to the left and to the right for example 10 pixels) and there you go. You have negative (towards inside screen) zdepth!(edit 2)If it could be done with a lot of pain (which i seriously doubt), your only shot would be by using monospace font.Again, I seriously doubt it.
