VLC Player & Hindi subtitle problem
Posted: 27 May 2010 13:48
Hi VLC team,
The VLC player do not seem to be supporting the HINDI fonts as subtitles. I tried all the options you explained, like changing the "text rendering module" to "Freetype2 font renderer" and using the "Mangal true type" font. Also, by changing the default encoding did not help.
Then, I had to search for other option, and I had to use other player [Media Player Classic - Home Cinema latest version] to display my Hindi subtitles.
This is why I wanted the Hindi subtitles to be displayed. My family wanted to watch a English language video. I downloaded the English subtitle file ".srt" file, and translated the file into Hindi language with the help of a open source software "Open Subtitle Translator". The translated files looks something as shown below...
1
00:00:01,260 --> 00:00:05,180
मेरा नाम Lee Dewyze है.
2
00:00:07,010 --> 00:00:08,100
ये अनुच्छेद हिन्दी में है.
3
00:00:08,190 --> 00:00:09,880
मैं एक संगीतकार और एक माँ हूँ.
4
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:14,170
मैं अगले अमेरिकन
आइडल हो सकता है.
But, I could not display this translated .srt file using VLC Player, all I could see as "???????". The same .srt file works fine on MPC player.
Guys, please bring the next version with this support, as I really love VLC Player....
