"Bad public movie atom" when converting with AviSynth?

[pysokat]

Hi!

I'm trying to convert a Family Guy episod with help from AviSynth 2.5 because I want subtitles too. In the Videora Ipod Converter I select my own "FamGuy scipt.avs" which contains following information:


DirectShowSource("C:\Family Guy S03E14.avi", fps=23.976, convertfps=true)
VSFilter_TextSub("C:\Family Guy S03E14.sub")

When I'm using the VideoWiz i select "High" on video and sound quality and then next, so it starts and converts it. Everything seems to be OK with the convertion itself, the output film works fine in for example VLC, but it's unable to add to iTunes or to play in QuickTime. In QT I just keep getting the message "Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie".

I suppose the error is in my script file, but since I'm not an expert on scripting .avs-files I'm now passing the question over to someone here.

How can I do to make this work with iTunes and QT, without removing the subtitles ofcourse?:)

Your script is fine, its just that QuickTime/iTunes has a really crappy bug in it that causes this problem when it shouldn't.

To workaround this bug in avs, you'll have to manually change the framerate.
Use this line after your other two:

ChangeFPS(24000/1001)

Thank you very much RK! It's works perfectly.


Now, is it possibly to convert multiple files after each other like a queue? Maybe I can write it in the script somehow? Would be more comfortable.


Thank you again!


btw. Is it possible to change the size of the subtitles? I've only used VobSub before. Can I add fontsize options to the script too?

you can change subtitles size, font etc by using ass/ssa subtitle format or .srt format with addition of .style file
