Vobsub Position

Post by Uni »

Hi everyone
Is it possible to change position for Vobsub (Subtitles) ?
subrip works great and i can change direct in UMS Settings>Transcode Settings>Mencoder>Margin%

my Setup:
UMS Version 7.3.0
using mencoder for Movies Stream to PS3

Vobsub are picture based subtitles. There is no way in the UMS to change position for them. Only for text based subtitles e.g. SUBRIP, TEXT, MICRODVD or WEBVTT is possible to set the position.

Is it possible to make VobSub looks better? Vobsubs look just terrible with UMS compared to VLC or UMS with srt subs. :roll:
