Displaying Subtitles with Zoom Player
oom Player can display subtitles on top of the video when playing media files under the following conditions:
- You must have DirectVobSub (VSFilter) installed on your system.
- When displaying external subtitle files (such as files with the ".srt" extension), the subtitle file name should match the video file name
with an optional language identifier. Valid examples:
myvideo.avi
myvideo.srt
or
myvideo.avi
myvideo.eng.srt
An invalid example:
myvideo.avi
my-video.srt
With a media file and subtitle displaying, you can modify various aspects of the subtitle by pressing Alt+"S" to bring up the
configuration dialog. An interesting feature for people who are not using Widescreen TVs is the setting to add "Vertical Padding"
in which widescreen content is padded so that the subtitles can appear under the video area (in the black bars). This is done by
setting Vertical Padding to "Extend to 4:3" (you need to reload the video to have the setting take effect) and then enabling
"Override Placement" and setting the "V" to a higher value (this is done in real-time and you can see how it works with a video playing).
Another interesting setting is the ability to configure the "Text Settings". It is recommended to disable Shadow by moving its track
bar all the way to the left.
