Hello Evryone,


With ffmpeg all subtitles are in the black border of the 16:9 of the screen .. i only see the top of the letter.

I have tested with version 4.1, 4.2, 5.0a1. My subtitles are english or french with mkv.
My dlan reader is a goold old playstation 3 on a gigabitter wired network.
All option are by default.

No problems with mencoder transcoder, but transcoding is slower ....

Can you help me plz ?

Are you on an HDTV? I watch subs on a 16:9 TV and the subs show up fine for me. And I have no black borders with 16:9 shows. If I watch a 2.35:1 movie the subs are on the bottom of the picture like you'd expect.

Also on a wired Gbit network to a PS3.
