Hi there,
Today I had a pretty hard time inserting subtitles into my video.
I concluded that there must be a bug in the subtitler filter,
which appears to occur only when there is
a *single* subtitle in the srt file.
Version and platform:
avidemux 2.5.2 at ubuntu 10.04
How to reproduce:
1. Create a srt file with one subtitle:
$ cat mysub.srt
1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,400
Hello world!
2. invoke avidemux with some video
$ avidemux video.avi
3. Select Video MPEG-4 ASP (lavc)
4. Select Filter, then subtitles, then Subtitler
- set subtitle file: /path/to/mysub.srt
- set font: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf
- set encoding: UTF-8
- click OK
5. Click preview
(there are no subtitles in the output video)
How to fix:
1. Add an additional subtitle:
$ cat mysub.srt
1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,400
Hello world!
2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,400
Hello world!
2. Select Filter, then subtitles, then Subtitler
- click OK
3. Click preview
(both subtitles are shown in the output video)
Cheers,
SiniÃ...¡a

Also found that a single subtitle did not work. However, adding a second blank subtitle also fixes the problem. I am also using Ubuntu 10.04.
