Hi,
I have some sub/idx subtitle files created for 720p videos and when I load them on 1080p video, they are too big, so I edited .idx file
from
Code:
# Original frame size
size: 1280x720
# Origin, relative to the upper-left corner, can be overloaded by aligment
org: 0, 0
to
Code:
# Original frame size
size: [COLOR="Red"]1920x1080[/COLOR]
# Origin, relative to the upper-left corner, can be overloaded by aligment
org: [COLOR="red"]640, 360[/COLOR]
The results are.. like this.
So font size got smaller and looks really good on 1080p, but mx players doesn't seem to read the position part. It still displays on the left of the screen even though I edited it.
On my pc, I checked that the video player I use (potplayer) shows the subtitles on the correct position(bottom-center) with the edited idx file.
Could you please look into this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Can you share the original & edited subs?
Generally, MX Player automatically scales when there is a resolution change.

When the 720p subtitle is loaded on 1080p, I think it should be scaled down, when full screen, to be shown as the same size as the one on 720p. However, the font size gets bigger on 1080p. And this isn't just mx player though. I think that's how all the video player works with the .sub file. And not reading the position part in .idx file is not only mx player but also vlc and kodi as a matter of fact. On PC, I tested only Potplayer and it worked well with the edited .idx file.
Hope MX player does as well.
Attached .sub files in both zip files are the same and I edited just .idx file in "1080p.zip".
Thanks.

Hi,
Basically, vobsub is a bitmap based subtitle format. So, the trick you have used is not supported by the most of the vobsub renderers. We have checked some other players as well. The behaviour is same. If your intention is just to reduce the size, MX Player already has an option for you. Open menu > Subtitle > settings & Reduce the scale. It will scale down the subtitle sizes of bitmap based subtitles.

Thank you so much!
I didn't notice there's a scale option in the settings. I always used the size option for .srt files so when it made no difference with .sub file, I tried to edit the .idx file.
The scale option works perfectly. Thanks again!

i got some 700mb avi movies and dropped it on my phone. it said it could not play. do i need to resize it or is it an encoder issue? maybe the file size is too big? idk!
thanks
What player are you trying to use?
use rockplayer or vplayer, I had played 2.7gb mkv 720p movie with no issue.

Try the program "handbrake" with high profile settings
Are you using a custom rom? Because I have been watching 700 mb .avi and great big hd .mkv with no problem, on both stock and newest cognition. Only format I HAVE had a problem with is m2ts.
I use PavTube Ultimate Blu-Ray Converter to make Xvid MP4 files out of my discs. They work great on the Captivate. I played around with different settings and there really isn't much visual difference between using the native 800x480 resolution compared to HD rez, but the difference in file size is significant.
I get the same issues with some AVI's in both Rockplayer and the stock player on the stock rom. Haven't tried movies since flashing to Cognition 2.3b7. MKV's don't typically play in rockplayer, the few that have skipped a ton, or they would play with no audio. Not sure what you guys are doing to your movies to make them play. All of my videos are encoded properly, and play on my WD TV Live just fine. The WD is a good test of media quality for rips.
The WD TV Live also can play pretty much any audio and video codec you throw at it.

There have been mkv's that have not played correctly on it, so if it's not encoded properly, the WD is a good test, from my experience.
I have some 700mb xvid movies on my phone and they play fine on stock rom w/stock player. But I highly recommend vplayer for video and rtsp watching.
Yep. Gave Handbrake a shot. Works like a charm. Will download vplayer and check it out
thanks fellas
What kind of settings are you guys using for your conversions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
followed the settings outlined on this webpage:
http://www.knowyourcell.com/samsung/samsung-captivate/captivate-guides/513592/how_to_convert_videos_and_transfer_them_to_the_samsung_captivate.html
Requirements:
Installed copy of Handbrake software
Video files and or DVD of your choice
Samsung Captivate with microUSB cable
Step I: Launch the Handbrake application on your computer and select the video source
In the menu on the right-hand side, select the iPod Legacy preset (figure 1)
Select your video source by clicking on the Source dropdown menu (we used a DVD for our testing purposes)
Select the destination and name for the file once it has been converted (both the .mp4 and .m4v extension work for the Captivate)
Confirm that the container is set to MP4 File and that Large file size, Web optimized, and iPod 5G support are unchecked
Step II: Adjust Handbrake's Video Settings
Picture Tab:
Uncheck Keep Aspect Ratio
Set the Captivated Width and Height (the Captivate supports a maximum of 800 x 480 pixels)
Video Tab:
Confirm the Video Codec is set as H.264 (x264)
Framerate (FPS) should be set to Same as source
Under Quality, select the Avg Bitrate (kbps) and change it to 1500
Step III: Adjust audio settings
Confirm the Audio Codec is AAC (faac)
Mixdown should be set to Stereo
Change the Samplerate to 48
Change the Bitrate to 160
Step IV: Save as a preset for future use
Click on the Presets menu and select New Preset
Enter Captivate in the dialog box and click Add
"Captivate" will now be saved as a preset and listed on the right hand side in Handbrake to be used in the future
Step V: Convert the video and copy to your Captivate
Click on the Start button in Handbrake
A command line/DOS window will open and start to process the video conversion
Once the conversion is done, mount your Captivate on to your computer via USB
Once mounted, create a folder named Video in the root folder on the Captivate
Copy converted file into the Video folder
That's it! The converted video can now be played on your Captivate using the Gallery app. It should look fantastic on the Captivate's screen as long as the original source was of good quality.
A few things to keep in mind when converting video:
The Captivate does not like video file sizes over 2GB (the settings in Step II should help insure that the file size is kept under 2GB)
Your converted video will only be as good as the source video
If your source is over 800 x 480, you must be sure to set the width and height to a maximum of 800 x 480 as noted in Step II

ditto. no problems with xvid or mkv files of that size.
i hate converting! all i want is drag, drop and play.. easy as that.
On Assonance 4.3 o/c to 1300 mhz
I actually converted like 20 movies or so for my phone but I dont think Im allowed to post the links to them here lol.
I don't know what went wrong, I can just say I'm running same cog rom you are and so far .mkv, .avi and .mp4 work just fine for me on the stock vid player :-/
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Tried Handbrake using the settings above and the video was garbage. I'll stick with Pavtube as it converts anything I throw at it in any format without issue and it does Blu-Ray, as well. Looks like 1500 bit rate is the sweet spot for good video quality and manageable file size.
I believe all you have to click is High profile on the right side , that is it

I don't think u would need to convert any vids for the captivate. Captivate by itself plays a variety of formats
Actually, since I'm ripping mostly Blu-Ray discs, they DO need to be converted. And I did a check ripping standard DVD to both mpg2 and mp4. A 50mb mpg2 rip was about 3:40 (min:seconds) whereas the same settings ripped to mp4 was closer to 4:20. Over the span of a complete movie, the mp4 conversion will yield a smaller file size.
Hi there,
first of all - kudos on an excellent app. I've found a tiny flaw in the implementation of PGS subtitle overlays. if you rip a 1080p Bluray disc to a 720p mkv file, the PGS subtitles are preserved untouched, but they still contain the 1080p screen position coordinates. When you view the video, the subtitle appears aligned to the bottom right. All of the geometry controls for the subtitle work except position. You can scale it up and down but it just grows from the bottom right corner. VLC does this as well.
It would be great if you could tweak it so the the position / centering function worked for PGS subtitles when they're used on resized video.
let me know if you need a test sample.
thanks again for the app

Ah - updated again. All seems good now!
Mini - request - when you pinch zoom the video, the subtitles resize and can disappear off the bottom. Can they be overlaid downstream of the zoom? Cheers!

Hi,
I tried to search and look around in this forum and still cannot resolve my problem.
I just installed MX Player pro. I ripped and made one MKV movie file from bluray with embedded subtitles in the file.
I tested the file with my TV and DUNE HD player and also tested this file on my computer with XBMC, VLC media play. The movie can be played smoothly and I can control, select, enable, or disable subtitles as usual.
However, when I loaded the file to my Samsung Note 8, MX player pro can play movie smoothly and fine. The only problem is that there is no subtitle shown, although I selected or enabled subtitles.
I also tried enable and disable in Setting > Subtitle > Enable Subtile and Setting > Subtitle > Enable Embeded Subtiles , but it doesn't help.
Please suggest.

There may a speech balloon button on the upper right corner of the playback screen, if video have one or more subtitle tracks.

Hi bleu8888, do you mean the mini button on the right corner? There are H/W, subtitles, audio.
Yes I checked it. I enabled one, two, or sometimes even all of them, but no subtitle is shown.
Note: I just tested the file with "VLC for android" and it works as expected. All subtitles work fine.
Thus, I guess there must be some missing or incorrect configuration in my MX Player Pro. Please help.

Thank a lot!
You can use Avdshare Video Converter to removing subtitles from MKV with the help of an MKV Subtitle Remover named MKV Subtitle Remover.
Hi guys, I'm currently watching something which I know already has embedded subtitles within the file. But when I go to the "Subtitle" option I only see options to find subtitle files (which doesn't help me because the srt is already embedded) or online subtitles, screenshot is pictured. An option to automatically show/switch off showing imbedded subtitles if it has them would be great. Cheers.

MX Player will automatically detect embedded Subtitles & external Subtitles ( if the name is same as video). Can you provide a bug report or sample file..?
I love my MX Player Pro and also use it for my 3 year old son so he can watch movies and tv shows. The only thing I would like to change is the ability to change how the thumbnail for the video is created. Right now it seems that it is a screenshot at a certain time interval.
The problem is that TV series from one show will all have the same thumbnail which is somewhere from the intro. That way my son can't distinguish between the different episodes.
Is it possible to change the way MX Player creates the thumbnails see for instance take a screen halfway through the video?

+1 for this request. Almost all of my kid's thumbnails are of the Disney castle intro
I've switched from MX player pro to VLC beta for the time being. The thumbnails there seem to be generated further into the video.
MX Player custom thumbnails resolution and type
Hi,
I tried some formats for thumbnails (principally for fastest thumbnail generation when MX loading thumbnails preview) - PNG and JPG files, all was ok, but some thumbnails was not accepted by MX Player or thumbnails was generated slowly, then I have simple question - what is recomended resolution and file type for thumbnail? I tested FILE.jpg/png (for video FILE.mkv etc.) with custom resolution (1280x720, 960x540, 640x360), but I dont know what resolution for custom thumbnails is recomended.
Thank you so much for answer, target device has display with resolution 1920x1080p.

Hi,
MX Player automatically generates the thumbnails based on the display resolution. If you are facing any issues with the thumbnail generation or loading, please provide us with more information so that we can assist you further.
MX Player custom thumbnails resolution and type
Thank you, can I generate my own thumbnails, respectively for target device which is TV (landscape 1920x1080p) is recomended what resolution for thumbnails and format (jpg or png or bmp etc.? - what is more recomended)? Thanks, I bought MX PRO and using in TV free version (because TV system have some restrictions).
I prefering own thumbnails, because generating by MX is slow one by one, I dont know, why MX does not using multicore thumbnails creating, but for me is this system slow and unsatisfactory, even if device have more cores - ignored by MX for thumbnails as I wrote. Thanks for help.
