Subtitle resizing & screen resolution
 

Hello;

I'm using 22" monitor. HD movies are not resized too much so subtitles looks great. But dvdrip movies are resized too much, about 3 times when watching in fullscreen mode and subtitles looks too bad. Please look at the pictures:

How can i fix this problem? Is there a way?

Type of moviefile?
Are we talking external subtitles? Type?
:wink:

Of course with external subtitle .srt or .sub files. I'm working with subtitles over 2 years dude i'm not a beginner :)

First is a dvdrip movie (40 minute 350mb size) and second one is a hd movie. Type is not important, problem is at resolution. I write resolutions at first post. BSplayer is not using font-size increasing for subtitles. It enlargements subtitles like an image. So if movie's resolution increases much (dvdrip movies has low resolution so increases much in fullscreen), subtitles cause that problem.

I tried to change video rendering mode but none of options solved the problem.

Also I tried "Draw subtitles to Overlay surface" as enabled at Subtitles options. I though it must fix the problem but didn't. (At some other players the option like "subtitles overlay movie" solves the problem, but not at bsplayer.)

The low-resolution movie (dvdrip type)

I really want to solve this problem :)

In subtitles preferences, please try to disable "auto resize subtitle and OSD font" and enable "auto resize font if line too long"

I assume you are using windows XP and not Vista and that you are using a fairly new release of BSPlayer. Some 1 year ago it was a release who had this bug, I hope it's not the case.

LE: after looking at the images you provided I really believe you are using windows vista. ;) .

It's a little better but font is still resizing as an image and still not useful.

Also it's not a solution. Now subtitle font is changing for per movie. I need to set font size everytime before watching a movie with this option disabled.

I'm using Vista (x64) mate :). And I'm also using the latest version of bsplayer, 2.31

Disable the "Draw subtitles to Overlay surface" option (CTRL+P -> Subtitles -> Subtitle properties) and you problem shoulg get fixed :roll:

Nope, not fixed. Subtitles still enlarge as an image not text.

And the rendering mode you use is?
Try to change it (CTRL+P -> Video -> Video rendering -> Rendering mode)

I've already tried a lot of combination but none of them solved. Maybe you can say your options ?

Draw subtitles overlay surface: unchecked

Renderin mode: overlay: Internal Renderer RGB Overlay or Internal Renderer RGB or Internal Renderer DirectDraw Surface

Resize OSD and subtitle font automaticly: unchecked

With these options everything looks great. No Vista Aero problem, no font resize as image problem. Just useful :). But one problem, on fullscreen mode subtitles good. But when you use normal mode, original resolution or lesser, subtitles still have same font. Maybe this can be fixed other releases.

Thanks for everything bs professionals :)

Finally it works :D
Anyway my options are all at DEFAULT (WinXP):

Video renderer: Internal renderer overlay (default)
Draw subtitles to Overlay surface: unchecked
Auto resize font if line is too long: unchecked
Resize OSD and subtitle font automatically: checked

Not default on Vista mate :)
