Hello,
I have a problem with the subtitles when playing a DVD. The problem is that I can't change the size of the subtitles for DVD's. I'm able to change the subtitles in the codec but dvd does not seem to change.

The extra codec's I installed besides the default XP codecs are:
* FFDSHOW TRYOUTS
* Haali media splitter
* QT lite
* Real alternative
* VSfilter
* FLV Splitter

(installed with the Goose V0.2 Mediaportal codec guide: link)

The following things I did:
* Haali media splitter put the SSA fontsize scale percentage from 100 to 1000. Did not work.
* FFDShow set the subtitles font scale both x and y 200% and put a ticked the subtitle box.
* In mediaportal configuration in movies, subtitle tab doubled the display font.

Still nothing.. only subtitles that are now big are avi movies

I personally think it must be in vsfilter codec... but how can i configure that :confused:

Oh ps, the codec's and player settings in mediaportal configuration are all default..

    Its not possible for MediaPortal to change the DVD subtitles as those are decoded and rendered by the MPEG2 decoder.

    ok, so how do I change the mpeg2 decoder? It is set in mediaportal to MPV Decoder Filter. But... How do I set the subtitle size in that decoder?

    Hi,

    I'm having too this problem of the DVD subtitles being far too small.

    It's true that the subtitles of a DVD are bitmaps and can't be resized, but the thing is that if I put the DVD in a standalone player, then their size is OK. If a put the same DVD in the HTPC and play it with MP, the subtitles are tiny.

    Do I have something wrong configured? Is there no way to have the same subtitles size in MP than in a standalone player?

    I would appreciate very much some help. Thank you in advance.
