Hello. I'm new here.
I just found out that VLC shows closed captions much better than any other software i've used!!
I hadn't tried it before, I don't know if it is something that was done in the latest version.
Bravo!
But, i would like to ask:
Is it possible to change the size of the closed captions?
Because they're a kind of BIG, at least in the specific DVD I'm watching.

Re: Change size of Closed Captions?
Are they closed captions or subtitles (look in the video menu)?

Re: Change size of Closed Captions?
They are closed captions. The DVD hasn't got subtitles.
I know that subtitles can't be changed, because they are like photo files.
But does the same apply to closed captions?

No, close captions are text 
You can change the font-size in preferences, in the OSD section.

Re: Change size of Closed Captions?
I had changed it, but it didn't do anything.
Also, i just tried to change the color, but that doesn't change either..
edit: oooh, never mind!
I didn't know that you have to close VLC and reopen it for the changes to take effect.
Can't they change on the fly?
