SUBTITLES
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, mplayer also supports many kinds of subtitles. Currently (2001/06/01)
|
|
|
|
|
7 kinds of subtitle can be used by the subreader code. To see what are
|
|
|
|
|
these subtitle formats, see subreader.c, line ~20.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subtitles are displayed with a technique called 'OSD', On Screen Display.
|
|
|
|
|
OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar etc.

----------------------
|

|
|

|
|
|
You need an mplayer font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature.
|
|
|
|
|
There are many ways to get it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. use the font generator tool at TOOLS/subfont-c
|
|
|
|
|
It's a complete tool to convert from TTF/Type1/etc font to mplayer font pkg.
|
|
|
|
|
(read TOOLS/subfont-c/README for details)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. use the font generator GIMP plugin at TOOLS/subfont-GIMP

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. download ready-to-use font packages from mplayer site.
|
|
|
|
|
Note: currently available fonts are only for limited iso 8859-1/2 support,
|
|
|
|
|
and there is a few special version for korean, russian etc codepages.
|
|
|
|
|
You'd better building font yourself with tool mentioned above.

|
|
|
Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font
|
|
|
|
|
positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution
|
|
|
|
|
is to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use -utf8 option
|
|
|
|
|
or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it in the same
|
|
|
|
|
dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to utf8 could be
|
|
|
|
|
done by using konwert (debian) or iconv (RedHat) programs.

After that, UNZIP the files to ~/.mplayer/font/

|
|
|
Now you have to see a clock at the upper left corner of the movie
|
|
|
|
|
(switch it off with 'o')
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OSD has 3 states: (switch with 'o')
|
|
|
|
|
- clock + volume bar + seek bar + sub (default)
|
|
|
|
|
- volume bar + seek bar + sub
|
|
|
|
|
- only sub
|

|
You can change default behaviour by setting osdlevel= variable in config file.
