Hi
I have a problem of subtitle being displayed too big and misaligned (too much to the right that it's not completely visible). I recently ripped a couple of DVDs and while the subtitle with the 1st dvd just displayed fine, the subtitle with the 2nd dvd is having trouble getting displayed. I am using VLC version 1.03
I tried the following options in preferences under "Subtitles and OSD":
1)Tried changing default encoding
2)Tried changing Font size
3)Tried giving different values for force subtitle position between -25,25,100 and 1000
..but it wouldn't budge

The video folder of the rip has the vdo and it's corresponding backup file(IFO) and and DVD info file.
Request members to help me on this.

Are you sure the subtitles weren't embedded on ripping? Can you turn them off? I don't see much in Preferences that's related to DVD subtitles.

I have a similar problem, playing MP4 files with .srt subtitles: The subtitles are centred but too wide. There is an automatic line return but a full line, more often the top line, is missing the left & right ends of the line as they are off the screen.

Also, I often get a line return on the 2nd line after only 1 word, for no apparent reason. Changing font size packs more or fewer words to a line but doesn't change line width or the 1-word line return.
The only "width" setting I can find is in Preferences>Video>Subtitles/OSD>Mosaic, but doesn't seem to change anything.

Any ideas?

(I'd upload a screenshot but don't see an upload option)
