VLC 2 DiVX subtitles problem

Postby mrbadguy86 » 13 Sep 2012 02:14

Hello,

Since I use VLC 2.0.3 I have a problem in the visualization of the subititles added to an avi in DivXs.
They appear "stripped", an example of what I see is this:

With VLC 1 the subtitles worked normally, as if I watch the DivX with another device (Divx player, videogame console, etc.).

Could you help me? What could be the problem?

Thank You!

Are they hard-coded subtitles (i.e. part of the video)? If so do you have deinterlacing enabled?

No, they are part of the DivX file but they are not hard coded, I can choose wheter activate them or not.

Hi all,
The same issue has been reported in another post :
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=103943#p351814

Maybe the file "test.divx" (226 Ko only) found in the other topic will help Vlc programmers.
Good luck guys.

Ah OK, fair enough - so yes a bug :).

Interestingly VLC 1.1.11 performs a blend filter on a subtitle, whereas VLC 2.0.3 just treats it as a normal OSD texture.

VLC 1.1.11 (from enabling XSUB subtitle to EOF):

VLC 2.0.3 (from point of enabling XSUB to EOF):

The latest VLC 2.1.0-git appears the same as 2.0.3 except direct3d debug states that the OSD texture is being reused.

EDIT: Actually I think I confused the "blend" video filter with the "blend" deinterlacing filter. I believe blend is the filter used to blend the subtitle onto the video; something no longer needed after the vout rework.

Too technical for me :mrgreen:

It's a bug, then do we just need to wait a new version?

As I edited above I think I was wrong as I confused the blend filter with the blend deinterlacing filter, so the messages posting is probably of no use. Plus according to the trac ticket (link below) they worked correctly in 2.0.1.

Well it needs to be fixed first :P. There is a trac ticket open here:
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/7426

jb says it may be a libavcodec regression, so might not be VLC related. Anyhow, you could keep an eye on the ticket as when fixed it's status should change.

Can I help at all? VLC 2.0.1 works fine, seemed to be introduced before 2.0.2.

EDIT: Actually 2.0.2 seems to work fine too (may have had an old branch nightly build or something).
ok thank you, how can I download VLC 2.0.1?
Win32 builds here:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/2.0.1/win32/

Get the *.exe if you want to replace 2.0.3, other just get *.zip or *.7z if you want to extract and run it from a folder.

Trying 2.0.2 with 2.0.1 libswscale would help.

No change replacing libswscale :(. Replacing libavcodec worked however.

BTW I downloaded 2.0.2 again and it seems to work too... so possible I had a nightly branch build or something. The final release (*.7z archive) of 2.0.2 seems to work fine anyway.

Replacing libavcodec_plugin.dll in VLC 2.0.3 with either the one from 2.0.1 or 2.0.2 seems to fix the issue.

EDIT: Interestingly the latest Win64 nightly works fine. The latest Win32 nightly doesn't though.

Probably a libavcodec regression then :)
