.srt subtitle files with Mac OS 10.3.9 & VLC 0.8.2

Postby Diridiri » 16 Aug 2005 12:37

I'm on Mac OS 10.3.9 and would like to view a Japanese Manga with English subtitles. The movie plays with Japanese audio. I've got an .srt subtitles file but the subtitles show only up in Turkish (or a similar language).

I found this (on videolan.org) on how to work with .srt subtitles:

If you mainly use .srt subtitles or .sub, you can get them turned on automatically when they are detected, by setting the Input/Codecs->Advanced->Choose subtitle track to 0, it will automaticly turn on the subtitle track. You can also experiment with the Choose subtitle language on the same page. But if u experiment a bit with the settings u should be able to get subtitles turned on automatically.

Note: On Mac OS X, the "Video->Subtitles track" menu item is permanently disabled for some reason. You must manually specify the location of the subtitles file in the "Subpictures" pane of the preferences.


Questions:

1) I can't find the "Subpictures" pane in VLC 0.8.2 as described above! Where can I set them manually in this VLC version?

2) Is there even an English subtitle or could it be that the .srt file is in Turkish(?) only? Subtitles can be displayed or hidden in Turkish(?).
