No subtitle

Postby videolan0019 » 25 Jun 2006 11:56

Hello!

I can't get the player to recognize my subtitles.
They have the same name as the avi, but the subtitle menu doesn't appear on the video menu.
And rarelly, when it does (dunno why) and i select the track, a line appers, and than nothing.
I don't use any fancy subs, the usual: .sub, .srt.
Help?!

Thanks

Hello,

Sorry if it is not exactly correct (I have the french version of vlc 0.8.5).

Go in "file" > open a file (advanced).
find your movie (.avi file for example), click "sub-titles" and open the sub-title file (the name similar to the movie file in the same folder with .srt) .
Then, the trick: open "advanced option" and choose under "encoding the sub-titles text" Iso-8859-1 > ok > ok.

It worked for me

About the autodetection part, a few bugs have been fixed since the 0.8.5 release.
Could you please try a "nightly-build" version to check it your problems has been fixed?
See http://nightlies.videolan.org/ to download the latest version.
