RealVideo and Subs

[volverin5]

Hi, I'm new to Real Video, this codec is awsom, but I don;'t know how to play real video files with subs without coding subs to movie. Is there a way to play Real files with subs from txt ?

Media Player Classic handle that like if it was xvid or any other codec. You can also merge all that in Matroska.

Gabest's Vsfilter (http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/) works great in Media Player Classic, or any other DirectShow based player, which can play RealAudio and RealVideo with realmediasplitter, either embedded in a Matroska container, or as separate files (rmvb + textfile).

In RealPlayer you can play SMIL based subs, but not general text based subs.

EDIT: The SMIL based subtitles supported in RealPlayer consist of a SMIL file referencing the A/V file along with a RealText file with the actual subtitles, a total of three files are then needed. RealPlayer will then display the presentation as a combination of the video clip and text underneath (usually) it.

I will add a paragraph in the main info thread about the various subtitle options (separate text file + RM file, embedded in Matroska, SMIL/RealText).
