Hello again. In general, it's hard for me to understand your answers... If I understood correctly, you are telling me that the magnification of the subtitles (and other ffdshow's abilities) are feasible only under Windows, that's why VLC will not support them, correct? That's too bad. VOBSub is Grap...

Sorry, but I didn't understand much of your answer. ok. VLC will not use some Dshow specific things for every platforms. What do you mean by that? Do you mean that the magnification of the subtitles (and other ffdshow's abilities) are feasible only under Windows? So VLC will not use them because has...

OK, I just want to verify that the upcoming version 0.9 seems to resolve the issue with matroska v2 files! Ssbssa, you are right, I managed to install and run a nightly build (27/05) and I saw that it can seek normally in a modern .mkv file. This is very positive! Although, the well known problem wi...

Hello all. I am using VLC for many years and I consider it as an excellent media player, but I think that it has a disadvantage: Subtitles support. Now I will focus on VobSub subtitles (more precisely idx/sub inside matroska). The default quality of the display is not good and the letters are not cl...

@j-b: If you mean the nightlies builds, I have already tried them! Things are even worse, because I can't even start the player! After the installation, I am trying to run VLC 0.9 and the player crashes. I have tried many times in TWO machines. I always make a clean installation after previous unist...

Hello again. I just want to report that the problem with matroska v2 files is here, even with the newer 0.8.6b version. J-b, there is absolutely no improvement in that issue with the new player. I really can't understand why, given that VLC and Matroska are very close. Anyway... Now I have to play m...

OK, hi there. I am waiting for the new version 0.8.6b to test my .mkv v2 files. In the meantime, I decided to create a matroska file with mp3 CBR audio (and x264 video) just to test the "simple blocks" issue. Due to DJ's comments, I was curious to know if my VBR audio streams have any conn...

Hello all and thank you for your answers. @j-b: If I understood correctly, there is going to be released a new bug-fixed version. I hope this one can fix this problem. @DJ: mkvmerge GUI has this option in the "Development hacks" (--engage use_simpleblock). In the description it says: "...

Hello DJ and thank you for your answer. Do you play normally matroska v2 files with simple blocks in your system? Can you jump and seek without any crash? From the info provided this is an impossible question to answer. What exactly information do you need? I am using x264 codec for video and Vorbis...

Hello all. I have noticed that VLC (0.8.6a) cannot handle correctly a matroska file when this file was created with "simple blocks" enabled (MKVtoolnix). When I select to jump on the next chapter, VLC crashes! Also, when I am trying to drag the timeline slider left or right, VLC crashes ag...

Hi all. Is it possible to change the subtitles vertical position while playing a DVD movie? I am using the "force subtitle position" and nothing happens, possibly because this is only for text-based subtitles. But when I am watching a mkv with integrated VobSub subtitles, MPC can change th...

Hi again and thank you for your response. Actually, I haven't noticed this useful View-->Messages window. Here what it says when I am double clicking a file called "Bruce Lee.wmv": --- main error: no suitable access module for `I:\Gaudio\Bruce' main error: no suitable access module for `Le...

I have been more observant. Well, actually in SOME cases the subtitles are there, but ONLY if I let the movie play from the beginning without interruptions. When I move the slider to another point of the film, eg 10 minutes ahead, the subtitles are getting losted. More precisely, another 2-3 subtitl...

OK, it seems I found the source of my problem with WMA 10. When I encode a video (DVD ripping) with stereo WMA 10 sound, the VLC player can play it back normally. The problem seems to be with WMA 10 5.1 sound, maybe because my system is with stereo speakers (2.1). Somewhere I read that many players ...

Hi all. In the last period, I start working with Windows Media technology. I am ripping DVDs to WMV files and I use "VobSub Ripper Wizard" to get the subtitles in two files (moviename.idx and moviename.sub). I put these two files in the same folder with the main video (moviename.wmv). When...

To j-b: OK, I change the association via Tools-->Folder Options...-->File Types-->WMV-->Advanced-->Edit, but I think that it would be better to have an option in VLC settings for that. Now it works well and the wmv files are being opened with VLC using dmo, but this solution is not perfect. First of...

Hi again and thank you for your fast response. The presence of a developer is always needed in a forum to spread his knowledge in the class of advanced users who then have to teach the novices etc! Yes indeed, when I typed in the Start-->Run box "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --co...

Hi. I was having installed VLC 0.8.4 in my system. I was able to watch my WMV1, WMV2 (WMV 8) and WMV3 (WMV 9) files and also WMA2 (WMA 9). Recently, I have made some wmv video files with codec WVC1 (WMV9 AP) and VLC 0.8.4 could playback them normally. But because it couldn't play the WMA3 sound (WMA...
