Subtitler-yuv-0.6.5

This is Linux software.
released under the GPL.

If anything does not work, it is because I changed a 100 things,
since I am changing things all the time, have a look at obvious things,
or mail me.
Subtitler has already made many hours of subtitled DivX movies.
This distribution is just a hand made copy of some files in my transcode
directory.

If you do not have mplayer installed, some mplayer fonts are in the zip:
Unzip mp-arial-iso-8859-1.zip in some directory.
Important are the font.desc and .raw files.
If you do have mplayer installed, the fonts should already be in
~/.mplayer/font/iso-8859-2/arial-28
for example (or some other point size).

Then set the path to font.desc in the demo-yuv.ppml file.

You will need mjpegtools as of version 0.7,
and possibly mpeg2dec-0.2.1-mjpegtools-0.7 or later.

Type 
make
make install

Copy test, demo-yuv.ppml, rose.ppm and sun.ppm (included here)
to some directory.

Then run the 'test' script in that directory:
./test yourfile.mpg
This should produce:
test.mpg

Play it with xine!
Hope it works and have fun:-)

Only 720x576 interlaced tested for now (rest should work).

Try uncommenting some things in the demo.ppml, to see the effects it has.

subtitler-yuv -h
shows some command line options.
For the preview mode:
X windows often does not correctly detect colordepth.
If your picture looks like 2 mixed text in each other, try color depth
32 (-c 32) in the command line.

NOTE:
ONLY if you have the ImageMagick package installed, you can try xsize, ysize,
dxsize, dysize on pictures and movies.
Subtitler uses the 'mogrify' program from the ImageMagick distribution
for resizing.


Audio:
  Added 'process_wave' utility, this will use the 'skip' statement
  in the ppml file to cut pieces out of an n channel audio file.
  Only tested in PAL, you can specify fps as precisely as you want for NTSC,
  but one can only cut a 480000 samples/second wave file at 1 / 480000 second.
  So, try it.
  With this sound utitlity added you have a 100% audio video editing facility!
  If you have more then one audio wave file, run 'process_wave' on each one.
  I have tested with 1, 2, and 5 channels at 48000 samples / second.
  Then when the .wav file(s) have been processed, you can mux these with the .mpv
  video using any normal multiplexer (mplex, tcmplex-panteltje, transcode etc.)
