SubTitles

when watching a movie with non-dvd subtitles use:

mplayer -sub subtitle_file movie_file

when using dvd-subtitles (vobsub) use:

mplayer -vobsub subtitle_file_without_extenstion movie_file

Specify a VOBsub file to use for subtitles. Has to be the full
pathname without extension, i.e. without the ’.idx’, ’.ifo’ or
’.sub’.

antialiasing for vobsub can be specified by:


-spuaa (OSD only)
Antialiasing/scaling mode for DVD/VOBsub. A value of 16 may be
added to in order to force scaling even when original and
scaled frame size already match. This can be employed to e.g.
smooth subtitles with gaussian blur. Available modes are:
0 none (fastest, very ugly)
1 approximate (broken?)
2 full (slow)
3 bilinear (default, fast and not too bad)
4 uses swscaler gaussian blur (looks very good)

-spugauss <0.0-3.0> (OSD only)
Variance parameter of gaussian used by -spuaa 4. Higher means
more blur (default: 1.0).

x or z adjust subtitle delay by +/- 0.1 second
