Any chance of this being improved?1. You are correct.
Tnx, never knew this!3. You can drag and drop subtitles to VLC.
Annoyance: subtitles cannot be made to appear below the window "off-screen" for wide-screen videos, so that they then appear in the black space when the window is full-screened.
E.g., setting position to -10000 doesn't move 'em any farther down than -100. They remain stubbornly inside the video window, covering up the action. (I find it very lame that they only display "in the black" with a letterboxed video which won't go wide-screen on a wide-screen monitor because the hard-encoded black bars are in the way!)
Ideally there'd be some way of automatically adjusting the placement of subtitles in real-time. I.e., a vertical "slider" which shifts the subtitle's "layer".
How do you mean 'strip out of', as far as I know hardly ANY video (neither widescreen original nor rip) actually contains any black bars at all, right?VLC is a computer media-player; most of what it plays, by definition, will probably be "ripped" video files, not inserted DVDs. Rips, unless made incompetently, strip black bars out of widescreen video.
If it requires a rewriting of the rendering engine like colltek suggests, then I agree. But doesn't VNC simply have access to the whole screen when playing fullscreen?Consequently, figuring out how to display subtitles in unused screen real-estate should be at least a marginal priority.
As an example, DVD-Video have a resolution of eith 720x576 (PAL - 5:4) or 720x480 (NTSC - 3:2). Anamorphic DVDs up 16:9 can make full use of the video frame size since the video can be stretched vertically to fill the entire frame. However, beyond 16:9 (which for e.g. PAL the output resolution is 1024x576) the video is streched vertically by a scale factor of ~1.42, which make better use of the video frame, however since the anamorphic limitation for DVDs has been reached, it is still letterboxed with black bars at the top and bottom.How do you mean 'strip out of', as far as I know hardly ANY video (neither widescreen original nor rip) actually contains any black bars at all, right?VLC is a computer media-player; most of what it plays, by definition, will probably be "ripped" video files, not inserted DVDs.

Whoa! Excellent, that's the only reason why I have been really missing Windows video players. (And another is unacceptable poor h264 performance)Subsequently, all that's needed now is for new versions of VLC to position subtitles automatically from the bottom of the screen by default (rather than bottom of the video frame by default).
