This is a short post about subtitles support in VLC.
Current support
As it is released, VLC doesn’t support a lot of subtitles, especially the text based ones.
Moreover, SSA/ASS subtitles script don’t get all the styling they need.
Development support
Some work has been done so far :
- USF complete decoding
- HTML improvements for styling
- SSA/ASS complete rewriting
- Ogg/Kate support
- AQTitle support
- MPSub support
- MPL2 support
- RealText basic support
- PowerDivx support
- DKS support
- SubViewer 1.0 support
- JacoSub basic support (no styles yet)
Conclusion
I know it is not enough and it has come late, but we are catching up :D
