[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Add support for Display Definition Segment to DVB Subtitle encoder

[mikrohard at gmail.com]

Current version of dvbsub encoder doesn't support HD DVB subtitles. The high resolution bitmaps are muxed into the stream but without the DDS (display definition segment) the players asume that the DVB subtitles are in SD (720x576) resolution which causes them to either render the subtitles too large and misplaced or don't render them at all. By including the DDS as defined in section 7.7.1 of ETSI EN 300 743 (V1.3.1) this problem is fixed.

7.2.1 Display definition segment
The display definition for a subtitle service may be defined by the display definition segment if present in the stream.
Absence of a DDS implies that the stream is coded in accordance with EN 300 743 (V1.2.1) [5] and that a display width of 720 pixels and a display height of 576 lines may be assumed.
