Hi guys,
Over the last couple of years, I have downloaded many of the gaki no tsukai shows with subtitles. However, I have NEVER been able to get the subtitles to work when they are in [b:2ed802qv].ass[/b:2ed802qv] format. They simply won’t appear on the video.
I have always converted them to [b:2ed802qv].ssa[/b:2ed802qv] format (either by using a subtitle converter, or just by changing the extension manually from .ass to .ssa). The problem is when I change the subtitles to .ssa I lose all of the colour coding and more importantly, I lose the positioning of the subs.
I use VLC media player, and I always make sure that the subtitle file and the .avi file have exactly the same name and are in the same folder. I have also tried dragging the .ass file onto the VLC media window when the video is playing but it doesn’t work.
So to sum up, the subtitles work fine in .ssa format but not in .ass format.
On a different note, I have had a problem with video codecs on my computer for two years now, because I can no longer get any avi or any of my DVDs to play in Windows Media Player, which is why I use VLC media player. I have tried to install many different codec packs but this has never worked. [b:2ed802qv]I don’t know if my video codec problem is related to the reason why I can’t get .ass subtitles to work.[/b:2ed802qv]
Can anyone help me to get the .ass subtitles to work? Or could anyone direct me to another site/forum that specializes in subtitles?
Cheers,
Dave.
BTW, this site rocks!!!
