DVBS subtitles too fast

Postby roglan » 24 Oct 2004 20:21

There does not seem to be any way to control the delay of DVBS subtitles. I've tried using hotkey H and J, but they do not seem to
work on DVBS subtitles.
Is there another way to control the flow? The text disappears much to fast from the screen.

There is a difference between flow control and sync delay. which of the two do you mean?

All I want is having the text to stay longer on the screen. Now it disappears after only 1/2 - 1 seconds. I tried to use the Delay subtitle Hotkey, but they did not work. The text seems to be in sync with the video, but the text disappear so fast I can hardly read it...

This is a defintion of the DVBS stream. I don't see why we should specify something different. If the subs dissappear too fast, then the stream was incorrectly authored.

Hmmm. Thats odd. I have an Kreatel STB which seem to handle the timing of the subs in the DVBS stream correctly. Are you sure that there are no bugs in VLC on this issue?

OS: WinXP Pro w/SP2
I've tried to keep up with nightly builds.
The original version 0.8.0-test2 does show the subtitle correctly, but have a nasty green underline under the subtitles. The later builds have removed the green underline, but the subtitle timing is completely wrong. (Displays too fast).
