Well, in code gease (gg fansub version) subtitles sometimes overlap eachother and I cannot read what they say at all.

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Would Media Player Classic solve this problem? I use VLC, and I have never tried Media Player Classic. What is a safe site I can download MPC from?

By they way, if I did use media player classic, would I need to install seperate other things to get files to play?

I would REALLy appreciate some help here. =[

Yes, basically VLC is the worst pile of **** you can get for softsubs (subtitles that can turn on/off)

VLC's subtitle filters are broken completely and it will never show you the soft subtitles the way the fansubbers wanted you to see them.

The MPC from CCCP is safe to use, everything is configured so that all the shows from the GG fansubgroup will work.

Alright, I installed the whole CCCP thing and the subtitles are just fine but sometimes an episode just pauses the picture while the sound still plays. What should i do?

Thanks for showing me where to get MPC by the way.

EDIT: Alright, never mind, I fixed the problem. The wonders of CAREFULLY reading FAQS is amazing. *feels stupid*

@VLC

I have had a similar problem I was watching raws wih subs in srt file so I changed settings for that , I directed subtitles from that .srt file . When I normally watch soft subs now , I get overlapping subs and have to turn off subs ... ANd for files which dont have subs I get default subs ( last used soft subs file ) .

I dont get why I get overlapping subs ( same text ) this problem was non exsistant before I made that subtitles adjutsment . I know how to revert it but just out of curosity whats happening here ?

I don't know how you think you can revert the overlapping subs. Since that problem has existed since VLC has been rendering subtitles. It has never worked properly to my knowledge.

Though mplayer does now, along with full SSA/ASS rendering.

I have already done it just changed default sub directory . Though I want to know why ie previous Post

So this is a problem with VLC, eh? That sucks cause the only program that seems to want to display subtitles when playing MKV files on my Mac is VLC...

Nicholi · 2007-01-08, 17:20

mplayer... read the rest of the thread.

BOZZY · 2007-01-08, 23:37

I did read the rest of the thread (if that response is in reference to my post), and downloaded the SAC edition of Mplayer, but it doesn't display subtitles either.

You did remember to put the code required to play subtitles in mplayer, and actually activate them while watchin?
In other words, put "embeddedfonts=yes" and "ass=yes" in the mplayer.conf (or perhaps config, might variate from OS) and press "j" while watching the anime (standard button for switching sub-track. Standard subtrack is no track, so you need to go to the one you want, usually the first one)?

NoSanninWa · 2007-01-09, 06:22

All that customization just to play a subtitle track with mplayer...

Someone seriously needs to make a real media player for the Mac.

Hehehe, I didn't know you needed to press 'j', but hey it works now!

Well there are real players for Mac, one is called Quicktime :P. Unlikely you will ever find one that renders SSA or even a filter for whatever weird environment they have on Mac for such things (cocoa or something?). You are right though, mplayer is not for people who never learned how to read. I find it amazing they can d/l and run it n_n.
