Version 9.3 (3 Aug 2009)
  • Release Date: Aug 4, 2009
  • Download(s):
  • "Break long lines" is replaced by a new option "Rearrange Subtitle Text (Optimize)". This option takes three values. "When very long", "Always" and "Never". Now the user has the option to optimize (rearrange) subtitle text in every case, even when the text is calculated it fits in the given resolution. In this case, the user, selects "Always".
  • Added option "Overscan". This option affects the operation of "Rearrange Subtitle Text" option mentioned above. If checked then the defined horizontal resolution it shrinks about 13% to adapt to the overscan effect that TV sets have when connected to the player with analogue connections. Some part of the picture, left and right, is cut off or goes out of screen. This effect it doesn't appear when HDMI is used. Please note that until this version "Overscan" it was considered by default checked. So now the user can uncheck this option if HDMI is used and wishes the "Rearrange" option to utilize a bigger width in its text optimizations.
  • Minor bug fixes.
  • IdxSub2Srt is included in AVIAddXSub, convert sub/idx to SRT using OCR. http://www.calcitapp.com/IdxSub2Srt.php

Version 9.2
  • Release Date: Apr 24, 2009
  • Added option to generate YUV (instead of RGB) values for idx/sub color palette.
  • Added option to condense or expand the normal width of the selected font. The user can enter a value that represents a percentage of the normal font width. Values less than 100% generate condensed font, greater than 100% generate expanded font.
Version 9.1
  • Release Date: Apr 17, 2009
  • Download(s):
  • Added option "Do not copy avi when not XSUB". Useful for those they want to generate only idx/sub subtitles. If this option is checked and there are no XSUB subtitles to be incorporated in the avi then the original avi will not be copied in the output directory. Please note that there are some cases that you want this copy even without XSUB subtitles in it. For example to apply "unpack packed bitstream" that makes some players to have a smoother playback.
  • Added option "Do not convert idx/sub to XSUB". When you do only idx/sub generation and no need XSUB incorporation in avi then you can disable the reading of idx/sub to be converted as XSUB, checking this option. This will avoid confusion at some point of repeating the operation when the program will get its idx/sub output as input this time and convert it to XSUB.
  • Now you can generate idx/sub without the presence of a video (avi) file. This way you can use the program to subtitle a mkv file. In this case the program will ask you about the frame rate of the AVI. At the moment only two frame rates are supported, for NTSC and PAL (23.976 and 25 FPS).
Version 9.0
  • Release Date: Apr 7, 2009
  • Download(s):
  • Now, additionally to incorporate XSUB subtitles in avi, is possible to generate idx/sub subtitle files. Some players support this kind of subtitles and give very good result when at the same time do not support XSUB or with problems. Users can now choose the subtitle type that gives the best results in their DivX/XVid Player. Please note that because one idx/sub file can package many subtitles and provides only one color palette for all, the colors of the first subtitle will apply to all regardless what the user has choose for each one of the rest. But other characteristics like font, font size, bold etc, can be applied separately for any of the packaged subtitles.
  • The "SRT Extension" option is changed a bit. Now the dash character (-) is not added automatically so the user can place it optionally in "SRT Extension" or use another character in its place or none at all. For example, for an avi file "lost0101.avi" and "SRT Extension" "-en" will load the "lost0101-en.srt". Using ".en" will load the "lost0101.en.srt" and so on.
Version 8.3
  • Release Date: Nov 22, 2008
  • Download(s):
  • Now is possible to incorporate subtitles coming from the combination of many srt and one idx/sub file. Please note that the total of incorporated subtitles cannot be over 8. Because idx/sub can contain many subtitles you have to ensure that the total of subtitles from srt and idx/sub will not pass this specifications limit. AVIAddXSubs automatically forces this limit with subtitles coming from srt to have the priority. So, for example, if you incorporate 8 subtitles from srt will not leave space for subtitles from idx/sub.
Version 8.2
  • Release Date: Oct 30, 2008
  • "Use SRT of SUB 1" is replaced with a more flexible option, "SRT extension". In this option is entered a literal which is added after a dash in the name of the avi to compose the file name of the srt to load. So for every tab (SUB 1-8) and through this option, is defined a srt to be loaded this way: [AVI name]+[dash]+[SRT extension]+[.srt]. In case the "SRT extension" is empty in a SUB tab then the srt loaded from it has exactly the same name as the avi. In case you wish to add the same srt but with different configurations then enter the same "SRT extension" n SUB tabs.
  • "Move srt to output directory" option added. If this option is checked then the srt is copied to the output directory after a successful subtitle incorporation.
Version 8.1
  • Release Date: Oct 1, 2008
  • Option added to configure idx/sub processing. You can choose to incorporate all languages present, always only some specific of them or be asked by a dialog to choose.
  • Option added to choose between to add XSUB subtitles (normal operation), to remove XSUB subtitles or add test subtitles. The remove operation is useful in cases you want a file only with chapters, with "unpacked packed bitstream" etc.
  • Now at the end of operation you are notified by a Windows sound and the program flashes. Now can be minimized.
Version 8.0
  • Release Date: Sep 1, 2008
  • Chapter support added. Now is possible to add chapters that occur at a time interval configured by user. Chapters will help you navigate an avi file much faster. This feature is tested only with my PHILIPS DVP5980 where it works perfectly. Please report back to me failure or success in yours player case. Generally players that support officially or unofficially DivX Ultra is expected to work. At "Players reported well" information will be added indication for the availability of this feature in every reported player. When chapters are added to an avi then an introductory video is played at the start. Read more about it in README.htm in the zip.
Version 7.5
  • Release Date: Aug 1, 2008
  • Now the option "AVIAddxSubs: Add Subtitles" can be added to Windows context menus. So with just a right click over an AVI file or folder (or a group of files and folders), you can start the program. This is an alternative to the drag&drop method on program's icon or shortcut. Note that you have to go through "Configuration"/"Right Click Menu Option on AVI Files" and press "Add Menu Option" to enjoy this feature. You can also disable it from the same screen.
  • Button "Right Click Menu Option on AVI Files" added at configuration page. This leads to a screen where the user can add or remove the Right Click Menu option mentioned before.
  • New option added, "Start at Once". If this option is checked then after drag&drop of files and folders or through Right Click Windows Context menus, the program will start immediately without the need to press "Create Subtitled DivX file" first.
  • Now advanced users, that want to use the program in batch files that do many operations plus XSUB subtitle incorporation, they can use the option "End At Once" and so the program, after successful operation, will terminate without the need to press "Exit". Use this in accordance with "Start at once" option. Please note that this function is not accessible through AVIAddXSubs User Interface. You have to access directly the "AVIAddXSubs.txt" configuration file and change the value of "ENDATONCE" from 0 to 1.
  • Now XSUb subtitles can be added even in AVIs without audio stream.
Version 7.4
  • Release Date: Jun 21, 2008
  • Added option "Delete original avi". When the subtitled file is successfully generated the original (source) avi is deleted.
  • "Stop" button added. In case of a lengthy operation, with many files involved, user can stop it at any time through this button.
  • New utility added to distribution zip. SUBRenamer. Renames avi and srt/idx/sub files according user whished new name and AVIAddXSubs rules. Especially useful when more than one srt is used in subtitle incorporation. Read more about this utility in README.htm in zip.
  • A fix is made to solve some display problems (in program's fields, not in subtitles) with languages like Chinese, Thai etc.
Version 7.3
  • Release Date: Jun 14, 2008
  • Fixed bugs related with RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew) and subtitle preview.

  • Added ability to define text outline color and size
  • Added a text preview so the user is able to get an idea on how the subtitles will look like according to the current selections in font, etc.
  • Fixed bug in "unpack packed bitstream".

  • Now for every incorporated subtitle you can individually configure font size, Bold, color, align, opaque box, all subtitle bitmap options and all screen position options.
Version 6.2
  • Release Date: Feb 8, 2008
  • Now is possible to define character set, font and language for each of the two srt files you can feed the program. This way any two languages can be incorporated correctly.
  • Now we can choose the output file to have the extension avi instead of divx. This works only when the input and output directory are different.
  • Now files with extension divx can be passed and processed from the program. No need, any more, to rename them first as avi.
