Position of subtitles in 16:9 and 4:3 films
 

Hello,

I have a 4:3 TV.
When I watch 16:9 films and I do not "stretch" the image, I have two black bars on the screen, one below the movie and one above.

This is completely logical.

I wonder, however, if it would be possible with BSplayer to show the subtitles in the lower black bar, instead of inside the film.

Is this possible or not?

Tia,

Robert

Yes this is possible. In fact that's the default position in full screen if you selected "Auto position" under rightclick > Subtitles > Subtitle properties.
Also depends on your graphics card (and settings under Video rendering)
Perhaps necessary for you to check "Draw subtitles to Overlay surface"?
(under rightclick > Options > Preferences > Subtitles)
:wink:

Try Single Display Mode (not Dualview, Clone Mode or whatsoever) for your TV and PC-monitor. In that mode you can place subtitles in lower black space.
