Vlc 2.2.1 doesn't set font size for subtitles incorporated in video file
Posted: 21 Aug 2015 21:34
I dowloaded some videos from Youtube using 4K downloader, with the option to incorporate subtitles in the video file. The resulting files are of this format, as reported by MediaInfo:
Instead it has effect for external subtitles in the srt format, located in another file different from the one that contains the video. So this problem seems to be only for sbtl subtitles incorporated in the file.
When I play the videos with VLC, i have to right-click -> subtitles->sub track -> track 1 to activate the subtitles. But they are displayed using a small font size which I want to increase. Thus I go to Tools->preferences->Subtitles and set a larger font size but it doesn't have any effect in the display of these subtitles. I tried to close VLC and reopen it.General
