The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I'm using vlc 0.6.2 on WinXP.
When I load an .avi file and corresponding .srt (I tried several), the movie plays fine, but the subtitles are shifted. The start of a sentence is displayed on the right side of the screen, the rest of it on the left. Not very comforting to read...
Is there a setting to correct this?

hello

i've the same problem with the subtitles. my version is the 0.6.2.
i tried to change the settings in the "video" menu (force the subtitles position), no effects
have i made my possible or i forgot something (i've look in the FAQ and in all others post of this forum)?

Please try the last test version:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/testin ... -win32.exe

i've install the 0.7 test 3
and then, i just have the sound, no image, no subtitles
but maybe the settings have changed.
i've just "open a file (advanced)"
choose the video (div-x on my desktop)
choose the subtitles (with the same name but with the .srt extension)
that's not enough?
i forgot something?

i forgot something, to give you my configuration
that's windows 98 and i've 64 Mo ram
i'm so old it won't work?

on the 0.6.2, we can't do anything?

you cannot fix this in 0.6.2. It's a true bug. in 0.7.3 you should try to "reset all" in the preferences dialog. And you don't have to select the subtitle by hand, just open the .avi file and when the subfile is named similar to the movie, the subtitle will just show up in the menu->video->subtitles track

i have the same problem.

i tried to do as you said with 0.7.3., but now when i try to play the movie it doesn't work. first when i tried it wouldn't play the file and when i tried again it was all black, no image, no subs, only sound.

Reset your preferences and choose the subtitle track in the menu video->subtitles track

i dont know what's wrong but now i try to open the movie and it just won't play.

ok now i could open it, but it's still just black and when i choose video --> subtitles track, it's nothing there to choose, even tho i have a subtitle file in the same folder, with the same name as the avi

If your display color depth is set to 24bpp then change it to 16bpp or just wait for the final 0.7.0 release which fixes the problem with 24bpp displays.

how do i do that?


gah i tried to play a normal divx movie just now. it was just bugging. videolan must be the most bugging video player i've ever tried, too bad it's the only one that can play xvid on my slow computer.

Just try 0.7.0
