Comments on: How to See Pretty Subtitles for MKVs and SoftSubs http://www.animejb.net/2007/04/26/how-to-see-pretty-subtitles-for-mkvs-and-softsubs The House of AnimeJB Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:10:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: dee http://www.animejb.net/2007/04/26/how-to-see-pretty-subtitles-for-mkvs-and-softsubs#comment-6626 dee Fri, 24 Aug 2007 09:21:04 +0000 http://www.animejb.net/2007/04/26/how-to-see-pretty-subtitles-for-mkvs-and-softsubs#comment-6626 Thank you so much!! I'm so glad someone finally put up a basic step by step on how to get softsubs working on a mac without having to install X11. VLC wasn't sutting it either...OVERLAP is all I got. So, I called the MPlayer going and followed your procedure and no more overlap, and things seem to play fine. ( I am playing a MKV file with a .sub file) Never ran across the softsub problem till tonight... thanks again!! Thank you so much!!

Now they do. Thanks a lot for that! Just to Mention: It also worked with Quicktime Player + Perian. But with the newest 7.3, Audio in mkv-files is broken.

It always displays them about a second too late, and changing the sub delay setting doesn't even work around it. I'm really missing having a working QuickTime since Apple broke it around the time of the Leopard release. Incidentally the VLC {curly brackets} are interesting as it lets you see translation comments. I'm beginning to look at that as a feature as there are quite a few interesting notes hidden in things I watch that I never realised was there until recently. It will be too bad when they finally "fix" that "bug". Too bad MPlayer can’t get the subtitle timing right though.

I recently switched to Mac, and had encountered .mkv files with softsubs before, but usually just ran video files through MPC on my old Windows machine. Needless to say VLC was frustrating me with how it displayed subtitles. I found that QuickTime with Perrian worked, and installing Miro was a nice touch as well, but they were simply memory hogs that would lag my machine during playback. I tried Mplayer after a friend suggested it, but couldn't get the subtitles to display properly. After following your steps, they display properly, and my machine doesn't lag when I play back my downloaded eps of Code Geass R2! ^_^ \/ Thanks for the info. Thanks for this writeup.
