Problem with crop and subtitles in VLC media player

[S73L1]

Hey!

I have a little problem with video cropping and subtitles in VLC. For example when I was trying to crop 1920x1080 blu-ray remux to 2.35:1 (that is around 1920x804 res), subtitles are cropped too. Why video is cropped, but vlc don't change the resolution. How can I setup vlc to position subtitles inside the cropped area?

You have to change subtitle position from VLC settings. (You can also setup hotkeys for subtitle up and down)

This will be better in VLC 1.2.0

BTW, why you crop video? (some unneeded stuff in black margins?)

Crop is, because I want to move subtitles up. Thanks, I'll try this. Greetz!

EDIT: This is AWESOME feature!

That’s the wrong way to do it; the user shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to do something that should be obvious and automatic.

The correct way to fix this issue (and it is still an issue in 2.1.3), is to apply the subtitle positioning code after the video-cropping code. That way, the subtitles are positioned into whatever canvas the video has after is has been cropped.

Does it really matter why? Does it magically stop being a bug if you simply don’t see it by avoiding it? Obviously sometimes you do need to crop, otherwise you wouldn’t have included the function. Here’s one reason that someone may want to crop which displays this bug well.
