VLC 1.2.0 features: part 1, video output - update

29 June 2011

Video Output modification, continued

I was previously detailing VLC 1.2.x improvements on the video output, a few weeks ago.

Subtitles quality

In comments, on [this blogpost](I was previously detailing) and on our IRC, people made a good point that the subtitles improvements were not enough.

Indeed, compared to MPC-HC or VSFilter, the lisibility wasn’t the best, and it was notably missing a few options.

Point taken

Since then, VLC devs have added a few things:

  • better outline with options: thickness, color and opacity
  • a parametric shadow: distance, angle, color, opacity
  • a better parametric blackbox: color and opacity

This is an update of the previous rendering on the same video with the shadow and a think outline. VLC 1.2 Subtitle display part 2

And here is a screenshot of the complete preferences part. VLC 1.2 subtitle display preferences

    well using the process explorer monitoring utility v15 i found out that vlc still use GPU even after paused this will become a headche when having too many instances opened which cause my laptop GPU temp grow to 70 degre clesius which is bad for the battery and i don’t know why it still use even the cpu if the video/audio playback is paused

    I have a question: I read that this version of vlc will be able to play blu-rays and I was wondering if it will also be able to decrypt DTS HD-MA and not just the DTS core. Thanks.

    Why rmvb format frame loss rate so much? rmvb format is very popular in China, I would like to use vlc control to play rmvb format, but unfortunately it dropped frames too serious

    Ce serait sympa si les sous titres dans VLC 1.2 avaient par default le style de ceux de la version MacOS, la même police avec un dégradé doux autours des lettres, non ?

    Et les icônes disponible sous Mac aussi, elle sont bien faites, et différentes pour chaque type de fichier. Ça donne un coté vraiment bien fini au logiciel :)

    Bon dev.
