I'm trying to play idx/sub subtitles with an avi movie. I have previously used these on Windows, but no clue how to use them in Ubuntu. I know I can convert them to srt, but that requires OCR which (from experience) makes a bunch of mistakes, so I don't want that. So far I've tried Totem and Gnome MPlayer. Is there any way to achieve this?
View 1 RepliesI have set the hotkey for "Very short backwards jump" and "Very short forward jump" to "Left" and "Right" respectively, and yet pressing the left and right arrow key does not work. Plus when I play the video in fullscreen the subtitles look pixelated.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using openSUSE 11.3 for my laptop and Kaffeine built in as my player. But when I tried to play any files with external subtitles, there is nothing happened. The drop-down list of subtitles is just gray and cannot be used.
So I have two questions:
(1) Can Kaffeine built in openSUSE 11.3 load subtitles automatically?
(2) If it cannot, how to load subtitles manually?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm sure this is easy to do. I want to create one of those "Hitler" internet meme things for a presentation I'm doing at work, which of course, involves adding custom subtitles to a video. Now, I've found the tutorial that says how to use the right filter with avidemux, but I was wondering what the easiest way is to create the file for that filter to read. Is it just a matter of manually writing it up in my fav text editor? something that looks like
startTime,duration,text
(one per line) then I'd rather just textedit it manually, but if it's something complicated, then I should use some software to do it...
I recently acquired a few japanese anime which have English subtitles. All the videos are in .mp4 format. They have embedded subtitles (though not hardsubbed, since I can turn them off). My question is how do I edit and re-embed these subtitles, since the translations are less-than-perfect?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just upgraded to Lucid. While trying to watch movies (i have installed all the requisite plugins), I encountered certain problems. The following is what I noticed after some thorough search into the issue:
1. Suppose one goes to the location of a video file, say, /Home/Videos/Sound of Music.xyz , double clicking the file would open the movie player (Totem) but one would not be able to see any video, though sound is coming.
2. Sometimes, on entering the fullscreen the video started from double clicking the file is visible, but leaving full screen, it is lost again. This however doesnt happen in all cases, because mostly one sees no video if through double-clicking the file.
3. The same operation of playing, if done through the player (by /Movie/Open.. or by Adding a video file in the playlist) happens quite properly.
4. A .mkv file doesnt play for long, since the player crashes.
5. Subtitles are not detected, even after putting the settings on automatic loading of subtitles (/Edit/Preferences/Automatically.....)
I have recently been tasked to extract the subtitles from a lot of mkv files. Hundreds of them, maybe even more than a thousand. To do this, I modified a script I found online:
#!/bin/bash
IFS="|"
if test -z $1; then
[Code].....
So in the above example the subtitle is actually in track number one and my script would be borked for that particular file. Is there a way to integrate mkvinfo into the script and parse it to see what track should be extracted? Like, read it line-by-line and change the value of some #TRACKNO variable everytime a string like "| + Track number:" appears, and stop when a string like "| + Track type: subtitles" appears? Maybe even skip doing anything if there aren't any subtitles.
PS: I actually prefer SRT subtitles to ***. If there was some command line tool I could use to convert the resulting *** file to SRT I would be much obliged.
I have Matroska file with some subtitles already built in. How can I add another subtitles, with proper language setting and encoding?

I've followed the instruction on this site. But I'm not able to play videos with subtitles on my LG TV. Transcoding is working (I tried the command in terminal) and I can see transcoded video in the list of videos on my TV. When I try to play the video, it shows error "Not supported format"

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use divxenc 1.4.6 to create AVI files. Works great. Recently, I started using the option to subsequently convert that to MKV, so I can include multiple subtitles inside the file. Unfortuately, the subtitles show up much to high in the picture. In the AVI format, the subs are just above the bottom of the image. But in the MKV here they appear at about 1/3 up from the bottom. This behaviour shows in both Mplayer for Linux and VLC for Windows. So I guess it's in the file. Is there an updated version of divxenc, or another tool to generate MKV's directly ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedRecently I have updated my video drivers and at last was able to run mplayer with vo=gl2 on compiz. The problem is: there is no text in mplayer at all! No OSD, no subtitles, nothing. What I've tried so far to solve this:
1. Rolled back to vo=xv. OSD and subs are there, but video flickers awfully when I'm trying to move mplayer window, change desktop, etc.
2. Played with ccsm "Render text to texture" and "Video" options. No effect.
3. Used vdpau for vo. Hmm, text is there, but mplayer does not respect -subfont-osd-scale and -subfont-text-scale options in config file. Text though is HUGE. Also, "subcp=enca:ru:en" entry in the config file is ignored completely. But, when I launch mplayer with vo=vdpau AND -subfont-osd-scale 2 -subfont-text-scale=2 -subcp enca:ru:en from the console, it is magically working.
4. Activated -ass switch (my subtitles are in srt format). Oh, now I can see subtitles (which are ugly yellow), but NOT the OSD. So, my only solution so far is to create alias for mplayer in bash, which is just temporary, because not all video codecs in mplayer are supporting vdpau.
Doing this: mplayer dvd://1 -v -dumpstream -dumpfile dump.vob Gives me all the audio tracks, but not the subtitles. How can I go about getting the subtitles to be included in the file dump.vob? I've tried something like: mplayer dvd://1 -v -sid 5 -dumpstream -dumpfile dump.vob (where -sid 5 was the correct subtitle) but this does not work. I'm going to use mencoder to make an .avi file (with subtiutles, obviously), so I could, as a last resort, use some other program that extracts the subtitles (suggestions?).
