What do you think? IMHO the subtitles look much better this way. Shouldn't this be the default behavior?
You're probably right... but what happens if you use -vf expand to get for instance a 4:3 aspect ratio, which was what I used it the past to prevent vobsub distortion? (I must admit I haven't tested your patch yet). The -vf expand thing also works, but there are several drawbacks: - You usually don't want to give back that large black stripes, just a little so that the subtitles can be put on them. So you won't have the original aspect ratio, just something less distorted. - Using a video filter takes more CPU time
However, subtitles under the movie are nice, so you might want to use the -vf expand anyway. But these things are not mutually exlusive: you can use -vf expand to get a black bar under the movie to render the subtitles at, and -spu-keep-aspect to set them to the correct aspect ratio. (Probably the best is to use both aproaces.) For a comparison, "mplayer aspect-demo.mkv -slang eng -vf expand=0:-100:0:0" gives this: http://rht.bme.hu/~lunkwill/computer/mplayer/expand-without-keep-aspect.png ...and the same, with -spu-keep-aspect added, gives this: http://rht.bme.hu/~lunkwill/computer/mplayer/expand-with-keep-aspect.png -- Csillag Kristof <fenwick@freemail.hu>
