@j-b: I have tried the 0.9.3 2008-09-22 - 1653 and I don't see anything new about subtitles, what do you refer? Edit: Maybe I haven't understand correctly your message. @fenrir: About "\fr" and "\an" and also all other A.S.S tags that I don't have talked about it would be better ...

You should retry again with latest master

I was talking about the trunk, the new version is of the branch.

"overlapped subtitles" works perfectly although the build of today is a bit unstable.
The text at 00:00:15,501 --> 00:00:20,500 in "SubRip subtitles capability tester ALTERNATIVE" is split in four lines when it should fit in three lines.

I am looking at the invalid tags and <> display and I will add "support" for it but I don't really feel that a player should handle such broken streams/designs. Using html tags and <> instead of </> seems wrong (Not that vlc supports correctly </> yet ). Although some html tag are support...

What characters are allowed inside the {\} ?

All chars, now it is "Hide these tags: {\some_letters_or_numbers_or_chars}"

PS: I have added

except one in your last test: the one with a subtitle that starts 1 frame before the end of the previous subtitle. This one: 00:00:45,499 --> 00:00:50,500 If I change it to 00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:50,500 then it works fine, it's strange. PS: Look on http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/intrepid-i386/...

I have inserted "SubRip subtitles capability tester ALTERNATIVE 1.0b by ale5000" in the same page of the table that allow to test better "overlapped subtitles".

@boing: Probably they aren't so synchronized between different OS.

@Developers: Are there problems with bold and italics?

The two subtitle from 00:00:50,501 to 00:00:55,500 are shown in the incorrect order but everything else in the "overlapped subtitles" support is fine, you have made a very good work on 2008-09-18 build. PS: The latest version of the subtitle file now is 1.2 f , re-download it if you have a...

Using vlc-1.0.0-git on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) I did some test with your subtitles file and found that : - font face : it works perfectly for me, but vlc has to be able to display the font... I tried to install msttf fonts (with the Webdings one) and use it in vlc but it seems to me that this fon...

- are you sure bold and italics are not working? They work perfectly here. What OS are you using? I'm sure, my OS is Windows XP SP3 - about font face: why would your sample not display anything ? On my computer I do not have the font you request, so instead of loosing the subtitle, a default font i...

In the master (1.0) I have fixed all issues except

I have tested it and it only reach 10/19 but it is a very good work compared to the latest stable version, look here: http://ale5000.altervista.org/subtitles.htm

Both should be displayed but it isn't so easy to explain in words. Load "SubRip subtitles capability tester 1.2e by ale5000" with any video from 00:00:31 to 00:00:55 (the part that tests "overlapped subtitles") on "Media Player Classic". Media Player Classic has the per...

I have made a table to show current progess of players in supporting these things: http://ale5000.altervista.org/subtitles.htm

I don't think that specs exist but you can look at sources of Media Player Classic.
In the latest nighly build there is a incomplete support for color, size and underline but nothing more.

It would be nice to add the complete support for .srt subtitles.
I have made a .srt file to test features, it is linked in this page: http://ale5000.altervista.org/subtitles.htm

I don't want that my e-mail appears in RSS like here: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/report/6?format=rss

This cause spam.

It is planned support for VP61?

PS: I know it's windows only but this can help with Real files: http://guliverkli.svn.sourceforge.net/v ... ortby=date

Can you use the code used for wmv3 to make playable Real video at least (when real codec is already installed)?

It isn't cross platform but VLC does a similar thing for WMV3.
It is better "windows only" than noone.

I hoped it isn't hard to implement these things.

Can you add support for playing Indeo Video 4-5 through DirectShow? (When Indeo Video filter is already installed on user's machine) Can you add support for playing Real video through DirectShow? (When Real codecs are already installed on user's machine) There is a opensource RealMedia Splitter in t...

You could put in vlc a error message with the link for download those file.

I play a MOV file with VLC 0.7.1 in WinXP and appears "quicktime debug: failed loading qtmlClient.dll"

It doesn't work because VLC don't have VP6 decoder.
