The VideoLAN Forums

There's that thread from 2006 about subtitle positioning in fullscreen: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=14603

For my next plugin, I need to draw graphics outside of video area. How I should think about it, especially when it comes to video cropping / aspect ratio?

By design, subpictures cannot be rendered outside the video. So far the only way to render outside the video, is to render outside of (Lib)VLC.
