Subtitle resizing & screen resolution

[Seregwethrin]

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:

Dvdrip movie (original: 624 * 352, resized to: 1680 * something)


HD movie (original: 1280 * 528, resized to: 1680 * something)



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

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

[Seregwethrin]

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.)

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:

[Seregwethrin]

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

[Tizio]

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

[Seregwethrin]

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

[Seregwethrin]

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.

[Tizio]

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

[Seregwethrin]

Not default on Vista mate :)
