Hi,

I'm creating an ogm file in vdubmod and the subtitles are too low in the final muxed file. Can I raise the position the srt subs?

Thanks

I belive found why, the srt specification doesn't support Positioning Information (http://cvs.corecodec.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/matroska/doc/website/technical/specs/subtitles/srt.html). SRT is perhaps the most basic of formats, however does the OGM file format support positioning and can this be done through virtualdub?


An alternative solution is using matroska with SSA format. It allows you to do some advanced display features, like positioning, karaoke, style managements.

I'll try reposting in the containers format thread also, but anyone help would be appreciated if you have any insight on ogm subtitles. Thanks

Here's a quick hack (not very beautiful, but it works)

[Before]
1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Line 1

2
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Line 2



[After]

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000

...add <i> </i> as much as you need...
