[kokoloko]

Hi!

I saw that there are MacHebrew subtitle support...
when choosing MacHebrew under windows it giving me hebrew words BUT backward... how to see hebrew right? [in win ME]
thx

You need the latest test version of VLC.

http://www.videolan.org/~videolan/build/win32
Try the latest package there and tell us if it works.
If subtitles are named similar to the movie file you can just open the movie file and select the subtitle from the Video->subtitles menu.
Though for Hebrew it might be necesarry to set a correct font and encoding set first of course.

this is the issue... how to set the encoding? to what?

[The DJ]

set the encoding to MacHebrew or it's CP or ISO variant.

they giving me inverse hebrew... [i think that the programmers didn't know (maybe) that hebrew & arab which are "me" languages (middle east)are from right to left & not left to right...]

The 0.7.0 development version explicitly has functions for this.
Perhaps they are not yet compiled into the windows version.....

I don't know at the moment, i will check

[kokoloko]

well... did you checked it ???

None of use in the team speak hebrew, so we have a hard time testing this, but we have had several success reports from other people, so if it don't work for you, then it much be some kind of a bug. You should then give all the kind of info needed in a proper bug report (version of os and vlc, what you did, what happend, what was expected to happen, hopefully also what input data you used)
