Colour information for spumux?

Rate this Message:
Hi
All,
I'm new to this list
and hope you can help me.
I've noticed that
the subtitles I generate from text with spumux only have two colours, i.e. no
anti-aliasing and quite unattractive.
When used with the
'-ma' via GUI for dvdauthor option, it reports:
INFO: No color information written INFO: palette file required for the pgc When used with the '-mdvd' option, it doesn't report that, but instead the process aborts later on with the report: ERR: color map full, unable to allocate new colors. Which means I can't tell what colours were used. http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net/doc/spumux.html provides no information on spumux colour usage.How do I specify colour information/palette for spumux? Many thanks, Francois ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Dvdauthor-users mailing list Dvdauthor-users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dvdauthor-users |

I've never bothered to generate text subtitles from spumux. Use a package like Gimp to render to PNG files instead--gives you more control, anti-aliasing, and all that good stuff. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Dvdauthor-users mailing list Dvdauthor-users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dvdauthor-users |

This means that anti-aliasing gets very limited, and even if tried would not bring good results. The only way to get really nice subtitles is by burning them to the video, but then you'll have no way of turning them off. -- "I'd love to go out with you, but I have to stay home and see if I snore."

Hi Lawrence and Eduardo,
Thanks for your responses. For this project I definitely need selectable subtitles. When done properly, I can happily live with the results of anti-aliasing. It's just that the tool chain I now use lacks other features, such as positioning the subtitles where I need them, displaying time-adjacent titles without inserting artificial gaps causing flickering, etc. With SSA, spumux does all that and I was hoping for a way to get it to do anti-aliasing, too ;-). I suspect that there may be a way to manually insert PNG subtitles into the GUI for dvdauthor sequence so I may try the Gimp suggestion. Kind regards, Francois -----Original Message----- From: dvdauthor-users-bounces@...

Or maybe three, I can't remember if the transparency needed for the background uses one space.
