How can i display the subtitle on the black bar when watching widescreen

[Mike89]

when playing widescreen video on a 4:3 display fullscreen there are black bar on top and bottom
is it possible to display the subtitle on the bottom black bar?

i could do that when using dvobsub or ffdshow by changing overide placement/adjust vertical placement

also bitmap subs (idx/sub) can't seem to display when viewing realmedia video

Yeah, there are two ways of archieving the purpose.
By oversampling or screen offset.

I recommend the second method. Open the dialog box for Screen Offset by pressing Ctrl+Q and you'll see the dropdown presets. The last thing for you to do is just to select what you want. In your case, try to choose the item of "4:3 extending".

As soon as possible, I'll check it.

I've tried real media with sub/idx but I can't find anything which looks like bug. Can you post or link the sub/idx? And it'll be helpful to verifiy the problem if you provide the ctrl-tab information.

just download the player for a while :)
change setting to draw to overlay surface seem able to do this also


and i try with success other type of subs (srt ...) when playing realmedia

hi i found out why the bitmap subs not displaying
the video file and the subs is in a chinese name folder after moving out it display properly :)

btw, is there any way to scale down the bitmap font like ffdshow, right now have to edit the idx directly

Would you write down the full path including the sub/idx filename?

And for the scale option, I'll let you know if it is possible to implement as soon as possile.

Z:\美妙人生\Wonderful Life (1A).idx
Z:\美妙人生\Wonderful Life (1A).rar or 美妙人生\Wonderful Life (1A).sub

i think the unrar.dll include is a old version so i unrar it to sub before testing

I've tested after creating the same folder and filename as you described, but it seems to work normally.

Try to switch english.ini language and make sure that you should not use the resource hacked version which could not be guaranteed of stable playback.

If you find anything, let me know that.

We should wait the next version. As it'll not take so much time to start the next race, don't be disappointed.
