|
3 Yes, mplayer also supports many kinds of subtitles. Currently (2001/06/01)
|
|
|
4 7 kinds of subtitle can be used by the subreader code. To see what are
|
|
|
5 these subtitle formats, see subreader.c, line ~20.
|
|
|

|
|
|
7 Subtitles are displayed with a technique called 'OSD', On Screen Display.
|
|
|
8 OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar etc.

|

|
12 ----------------------
|
|
|
13
|
|
|
14 You need an mplayer font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature.
|
|
|
15 There are many ways to get it:
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
17 1. use the font generator tool at TOOLS/subfont-c
|
|
|
18 It's a complete tool to convert from TTF/Type1/etc font to mplayer font pkg.
|
|
|
19 (read TOOLS/subfont-c/README for details)

|
21 2. use the font generator GIMP plugin at TOOLS/subfont-GIMP
|
|

|
22 (note: you must have HSI RAW plugin too, see URL below)
|
|

|

|
24 3. download ready-to-use font packages from mplayer site.
|
|
|
25 Note: currently available fonts are only for limited iso 8859-1/2 support,
|
|
|
26 and there is a few special version for korean, russian etc codepages.
|
|
|
27 You'd better building font yourself with tool mentioned above.
|
|

|
28 Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font
|
|
|
29 positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution
|
|
|
30 is to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use -utf8 option
|
|
|
31 or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it in the same
|
|
|
32 dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to utf8 could be
|
|
|
33 done by using konwert (debian) or iconv (RedHat) programs.
|

36 some usefull URLs:
|
|
|
37 ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/ - ISO fonts, OBSOLETED!
|
|
|
38 ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/contrib/fonts/ - various fonts by users
|
|
|
39 http://realtime.ssu.ac.kr/~lethean/mplayer - korean fonts & RAW plugin
|

|
|

|
41 After that, UNZIP the files to ~/.mplayer/font/
|
|

|
42 Now you have to see a clock at the upper left corner of the movie
|
|
|
43 (switch it off with 'o')
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
45 OSD has 3 states: (switch with 'o')
|
|
|
46 - clock + volume bar + seek bar + sub (default)
|
|
|
47 - volume bar + seek bar + sub
|
|
|
48 - only sub
|
