You should use dvdsimple to copy DVD otherwise with DVD menu support activated (dvd://), the title may be looping again and again.

I have vastly improved startup time and seek latency even with really high buffering value in git master.

I have fixed the positioning of 00:00:45,499 --> 00:00:50,500 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 sup...

By the way, I have a question about "Hide these tags: {\some_letters_or_num}" :
What characters are allowed inside the {\} ?
If some_letters_or_num is really only A-Z aZ and 0-9 then the one you use will not be hidden because of _

It does that because we have a precision of about one or two frames (40/80ms) for subtitle rendering, so ...

I have fixed all overlap positioning problems except one in your last test: the one with a subtitle that starts 1 frame before the end of the previous subtitle. I will try to see why but it does not seem really important for me. About the italic/bold problem, it isn't present under linux, so it may ...

About VLC 1.0 (git) : - are you sure bold and italics are not working? They work perfectly here. What OS are you using? - 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 is used. I wil...

In the master (1.0) I have fixed all issues except - position (left, right, top, ...) - subtitles overlap About overlapped subtitles, what would be the right way? - The more recent override the previous one? - or both should be displayed at the same time? and if so, which one should be on the top of...

I have implemented it in master git commit ecd28675c2d6c79f9de8a327c8a75a437f09f74a.

In VLC, you just need to open the mp3 (and not the CDG), then the CDG file will be automatically found for you. In fact, CDG files act just like a subtitle. Doing the other way around will be a bit to intrusive in VLC. Plus, that way you do not even need to add .cdg to the interface ;) Now about the...

When reading a streaming source, stop-time does not always works. But you can use run-time (second) like this:
vlc url --run-time 1800 vlc:quit

I have added 1.5x and 3x speed position.
I plan to add audio pitch modification but it is not quite done yet (btw soundtouch is not suitable for our needs as it buffers too much audio when going slower and the current vlc audio output does not like that at all).

If you use the svn version, you can use the option --run-time (the parameter is in second). It specify the amount of time one input will run.
For example
vlc url --run-time 3600 vlc:quit
will play 'url' for 1 hour before quitting vlc.

I have commited a fix.
It should work in the next nightly build.
Thanks for your report.

It should be fixed in SVN (You may want to try a nightly build tomorrow.)

You should already be able to read TS over TCP using:
vlc tcp://ip:port
(You can enforce the TS demuxer using vlc tcp/ts://ip:port)

With the current SVN it is possible to keep all audio, just add the option --sout-all With 0.7.2 it's a bit more complicated, if your source is a TS then add /ts2: before the name, and if it's PS then add /ps2: Example: vlc /ts2:my_ts_file --sout '#....' --sout-all (/ts2: forces to use another TS de...

You can use pid-audio and pid-video (using mux=ts{pid-audio=X,pid-video=Y}
or using --sout-ts-pid-audio=X --sout-ts-pid-video=Y)

See the output of vlc -p mux_ts for more informations/options.

I have commited a workaround. (Basically just using samplesize 8 for alaw/ulaw, in mp4.c).
Thanks for the report.

MKV is supported, but your file use real video codec that we don't support.
