The VideoLAN Forums

sorry for bumping that but nightlies.videolan.org seems down.

I found that VLC cannot synchronize correctly with mkv/oggTheora files. for example, there's a mkv file has such structure: Track 0: |========[Video]========| Track 1: |[Silent]===[Audio]========| Track 2: |========[Subtitle]=======| VLC will ignore the silent audio and all other tracks are cropped ...

the subtitles overlapped and no effects this ssa file works well in media player classic/windows media player with DirectVobSub.

Vlc uses the freetype installed on your system, unless you are talking about some specific binary release (in which case you should allways tell version and os as stated in the sticky notice at the top of this forum).

I test this with latest win32 nightly build

....and vlc's freetype seems without hinting support, so please apply the patch.

I'm very sorry, but I don't see any way I can fix that. btw, vlc uses only libfreetype2, and no xtt at all. I'm no expert at what xtt is so I can't easily tell the difference (the page linked to didn't either). And I don't speak japanese or chinese, so it's nearly imposible to tell if I got it righ...

the freetype library which vlc using has bug with some M$ ttf, as pic shown(aware the subtitle): http://i.cool.ne.jp/clspaste01/vlc_Snap1.jpg http://i.cool.ne.jp/clspaste01/vlc_Snap2.jpg /EDIT : Typo. /EDIT #2 : or, if possible, use libfreetype-xtt2 to process the fonts( http://x-tt.sourceforge.jp )

There indeed seems to be a small problem.
Not sure wether this is a problem with the file, or with VLC.

gibalou should look at it.

I think this is a problem with vlc. I tried this file with realplayer 10 and the player supplied with encoder with no problem.

I found that ogg vorbis don't sync. with ogg theora sample was uploaded before, that is [dmhy][onegai_twins][dvd_vol3_sp2].ogg in this file, first 6 sec. is mute and ogg vorbis is 0kbps. in realplayer 10 it can sync. correctly but in vlc it jumps to 00:06 and playback the sound and then ogg theora s...

It plays for me. Maybe your computer isn't fast enough?

But I can play it smoothly with resource-hogging realplayer 10

No. The codecs are not opensource and released binary only as far as i know. VLC cannot link against such libraries. it violates the GPL license. but you can get full source of helix player for linux in helix community site: http://forms.helixcommunity.org/helixdnaclient/ http://forms.helixcommunit...

Try searching in google,Google is always our friend!

Real is a proprietary format that VLC does not support and unless it is reverse engineered, will never support. Mplayer uses the windows real codec to decode Real Video, but this solution conflict with the GPL licensing of VLC. Is it possible using helix player source code provided by helix communi...

The problem is now fixed in the development version. (for a nightly build: http://vthr.via.ecp.fr/~videolan/build/win32/vlc-win32-200404282138.zip) Thanks for the report and the test files. yes it playes now but it lose sync. while playing [dmhy][onegai_twins][dvd_vol3_sp2].ogg.... audio jumps to 0...
