subtitles

[zwalper]

hello,

when i manually try to synch the subtitles with the movie, it works for about 10 seconds but then the subtitles disappear. This doesn't happen when subtitles aren't synched. (i synch with 'delay option')

anyone can help please?

What are the formats in use (audio, video and sub)?

What are the delay times?

Does Messages give an indication of the problem?

For the video I have this indications :

For the subtitles, it's a ".srt"

The subtitles disappear after 1'30

There isn't any message

Try selecting "Subtitles text encoding" specifically for your language.

I use Subtitle Workshop(Freeware) to synch subtitles because I want the subtitles synched when I play it on my television. You cannot save the delay to the subtitle file using VLC but you can in Subtitle Workshop.

If you have a bad subtitle - start or end time too big or small - VLC will lose the ability to display subs at all. I'd open the .srt file in a text editor and check around 1:30 for a bad entry. Simple overlapping won't cause VLC to fail, though you should probably clean that up, but if one entry has a start time before the start time of the entry before it in the .srt file VLC goes haywire.
