Subtitles' aspect ratio in MKV

[archimed7592]

Hi, all!
I've a problem with subtitles' aspect ratio. For example, lets consider PAL 16/9 DVD i.e. 720:576. Display resolution must be 1024:576, so we have 1.422 horizontal scale factor. It's ok for an image, but... when I add SRT track to MKV container, its text stretches too and I get picture like this:

when actually I want to get something like this:

Second picture I'd took when I disabled muxed subs and loaded external SRT file(I use Media Player Classic from K-Lite Codec Pack).

Use a newer version (2.39) of VSFilter which has the PAR correction feature, and then enable it. Or if using ffdshow for decoding, use it to resize to your desired output size. Or do both.
[EDIT] I need to mention that any of the above may screw with fully positioned advanced subtitles and subtitles that use an x-scale factor to also correct this problem.

Thanks a lot, J_Darnley :).
I've chosen PAR correction "Accurate size" and it worked out :). I'll recommend K-Lite Codec Pack authors to enable this DirectVobSub option in their default installation configuration.
