[gentoo-user] ASS/SAA in Video

[Pavel Kouřil]

OK, i have some anime in *.mkv, subtitles are in the file(softsub), and
I can't see them in mplayer. When I open video in Xine, xine will crash.
VLC doesn't have Advanced SubStationAlpha support. Do you know any
player, where ASS/SAA working fine?

The version of mplayer in portage should be able to play most ssa
subtitles fine, but it will drop all formatting from them and display
them the same as srt subtitles.

There's a patch on the mplayer mailing list for adding full ass/ssa
support, it should be in svn soon and hopefully into an mplayer
release... If so, mplayer will be the first linux player with styled
ass subtitle support.

Cool. No need for fancy karaoke effects, but I hope at least colors,
positioning and such stuff for translating signs will work good, and
hopefully also embedded fonts in mkv files?

With the current in-development patch, all of the above (including
fancy karaoke) is working :) So hope to see it soon. If you feel like
trying the patch right now, it's posted at
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2006-June/043996.html
and needs to be applied (with -p0) to a recent subversion checkout of
the mplayer source.
