What you are merely doing is to select a different font, nothing else. Subtitles rendering does not stop after glyphs rasterization: the glyphs still needs to be outlined and composited into the video. I find the outlining much nicer with libass, since it allows finer configuration and shadows with an alpha channel. As for the compositing, the subtitles rendered by the standard OSD mechanism are somewhat transparent: very saturated colors, especially red, show through the white areas. I find that distracting. > Uhg..

You may be a little late on the modern computers' speed. My box was reasonably good two years ago, but nowadays, a Core2 at 2?GHz is quite common, and it can perfectly do software scaling for my 1920?1200 screen for all the videos I watch and still have CPU time left. I do not think that 1920?1200 qualifies as thumbnail, and neither do the videos I watch. By the way, it is even fast enough to do fullscreen -vo x11: I had to do it when my video controller was a little bit to bleeding edge for X.org and XVideo was unstable. In fact, that is when I noticed that subtitles looked nicer with software scaling. Regards, -- Nicolas George -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
