Yes, I have tried it. See how I did it:
$ mkfifo -m 660 stream.yuv
$ mplayer -noframedrop -vo yuv4mpeg -nosound -v -osdlevel 0 \
matrix.reloaded.avi -sid 0 -frames 6200
$ cat stream.yuv | \
y4mscaler -v 0 -I norm=ntsc -I sar=1:1 -O preset=SVCD -S option=sinc:8 | \
subtitler-yuv -c 32 -p matrix.reloaded.ppml | \
mpeg2enc -v 0 -I 0 -s -f 5 -V 230 -S 800 -a 2 -F 1 -n n -4 2 -2 1 \
-b 2900 -B 286 -q 5 -K hi-res -R 0 -E -5 -o matrix.reloaded.sample.m2v
I have attached a shot of the resulting movie (it is also temporarily
available at http://uber.com.br/romildo/misc/preview_grab-subtitler-yuv.jpg).
The subtitle in the bottom black border was put by subtitler-yuv.
The other one was put by mplayer.
In order to get the subtitle in PPML format, I followed these steps:
1) converted the SRT subtitle to SSA format using a subtitle tool
(SubtitleTool for Windows)
2) converted the SSA subtitle to a PPML subtitle using the
xste program, found at
http://www.home.zonnet.nl/panteltje/subtitles/
3) edited the PPML subtitle file to do some customizations,
like subtitle positioning and font location
subtitle-yuv comes with a nice demo, which shows the kinds of
effects that can be achieved. Just replace the "-p matrix.reloaded.ppml"
option above to "-p demo-yuv.ppml" (supposing that demo-yuv.ppml, and
the other two files referenced in it, rose.ppm and sun.ppm, are
in the current directory; they are part of the source distribution).
Its capabilities are very interesting.
I have asked the author of subtitler-yuv and he told me that he has
dropped its development, unfortunalty :(
Maybe someone else would interest in it and take its mantainance.
Regards.
Romildo
