Why VLC can't render Subtitles well ?

[aatkco]

Hi Guys,

Just started using VLC 2day after years of Using Media Player Classic + K-Lite Mega Codec .
MPC main disadvantage is that it hangs in some scenes of movies ( The app is responding but the movie plays slower ) even on super specs like C2Q Processor and 4 GB of ram and a 1 GB GPU

So VLC works smooth and that's what I really like <3

I just see that the Subtitles rendering just don't work well like MPC

Look at the comparison even colors are different !

MPC



VLC


Please help me to fully enjoy this awesome app

I hope also to see a support for the feature of pausing video when you click anywhere on it Like MPC and not pause only using the button ( Very annoying )

Thanks a lot

You have an NVidia card?

You have an NVidia card?

Yup , nVidia Geforce GT130 ( 1GB , pretty enough for any kind of decoding/rendering/ creation ! )
didn't try VLC on my ATI-Powered Laptop

does nVidia Cards cause this ? Solution ?

Thx for the colors solution , What about the main problem ! the Subtitles font appears in a bad way ( not a high quality writing ) like it's hard-coded but the MPC isn't like that , see the pictures

THis should be fixed in VLC 1.2, use the Nightly Build of VLC

Now that I've found an easy website to get subtitles, it is sad that I can rarely get them to work on VLC. I also have NVidia, but I searched this issue and found one user's answer was to get the KMPlayer, which I have done, and it seems to display them easy enough -still working out some sync problems, but I would much rather stick with VLC. I'm hoping that the next update will address this.
