![]() ![]() If VLC does detect tracks, then you’ll see numbers show on the tabs at the bottom of the screen like in this image: This might take 10s of seconds, or even a minute if your computer is very slow. While you are looking at this, VLC is desperately trying to figure out what tracks are available for you to see. Once you have picked a movie, you’ll get to the screen where you pick the quality setting. To do this, click on ‘add movie’ in the main screen on your iDevice. To pick the specific track, you need to add the movie from the iDevice, rather than adding it directly to the helper. (note – at the moment, this method is not available on Android) This generally works well and is particularly successful with DVDs, however sometimes the tracks will not be labelled in a way that VLC can recognise, or there might be multiple tracks for a given language (e.g. You can see here that I have selected French as my preferred language for both the audio track and the subtitle track. If you click on the ‘advanced conversion settings’ button in the ‘add movies’ tab, then you can pick your preference You can set a standard preference in your helper app, or you can pick manually when you add the movie from the iPhone/iPad. If there are multiple options, then you need to tell VLC Streamer which one you would like to use. If there is only one subtitle or audio track, then it is easy, and by default, VLC Streamer will use it. You will need to delete and re-add the movie after putting the subtitles in the right place. The srt file is in the same location as the movie, and has the same name (apart from the filetype). Otherwise, if your subtitles are in a separate file (like an srt file) then you need to name it correctly so that VLC can find it.Īll you need to do is save the subtitle file ‘next’ to the movie and VLC will use it automatically when converting. If you are streaming a dvd, or an mkv file, then it may well have subtitles embedded in the file. DVB or DVD subtitles encapsulated in a TS MPEG stream is your best bet.Making sure VLC Streamer can ‘see’ your subtitles There are also some fileformats to which you can add subtitles. OGT and SVCD Subtitle (OGT) Information (2007 publication)įile Format/Container embedding subtitles.These kind of subtitles are used in DVDs, VCDs and the external VobSub files. There are also subtitles which are essentially pictures instead of text. Some of these allow for additional formatting, others That is the subtitleĪnd a timestamp at which this subtitles is to be shown. There are a lot of different types of external subtitle files. This 3rd kind of subtitles (external files) will appear in VLC subtitle menu, and you can tick /untick them, at your wish.įor more information see how to enable / use subtitles Subtitles formats If both names match, then VLC will automatically open the subtitle file and display subtitles, as soon as you double click the movie file name. If you want those external subtitles files to be opened automatically when you double click a movie in Windows Explorer, then you'll have to give those external subtitles files the same name that your movie, for example :ĭark Star.srt <= the external subtitle file idx that may contain up to 32 different languages !) srt files (which contain only 1 language) or the couple of files. These are external individual files: most usual are. Those soft subtitles will appear in VLC subtitle menu (one menu bar = 1 language) and you can tick the one you want (or untick all if you don't want to see any subtitle)Īt least, you know they are embedded in the movie and you can make them appear or disappear at your wish. You may find different languages for these soft subtitles (for example up to 8 different languages in the same AVI !) Those "soft" subtitles are hidden somewhere within the AVI file, but they're not burned in the image. These burned-in subtitles won't appear in VLC subtitle menu and there is no way to hide them ![]() Now that they're burned in the image, there is no way to make them disappear properly, as they're totally part of the image. Which can be compared to "hot iron cow branding" 2.3 File Format/Container embedding subtitles.
