SRT subtitle postioning in OGM/MKV files

[JJ2335]

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?

By definition, the srt specification doesn't support positioning information. SRT is perhaps the most basic of formats, however does the OGM file format support .srt positioning and can this be done through virtualdub?


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

If you have any insight on ogm subtitles, any help would be appreciated . Thanks

This is not something to be done in the encode, you can change everything about the subs (color, font, position) during playback (you don't even have to reopen the file) by changing settings in the filter which is rendering your subtitles. This is one of the main benefits gained by using muxed in text subtitles. This filter is usually dvobsub (now part of vsfilter.dll, I believe) or the internal subtitle renderer used by media player classic (if you use mpc, they are basically the same thing as Gabest wrote them both).
