Subtitles to high in MKV files

English Multimedia
1

Hi, I use divxenc 1.4.6 to create AVI files. Works great.

Recently, I started using the option to subsequently convert that to MKV,
so I can include multiple subtitles inside the file.

Unfortuately, the subtitles show up much to high in the picture. In the AVI
format, the subs are just above the bottom of the image. But in the MKV here
they appear at about 1/3 up from the bottom.

This behaviour shows in both Mplayer for Linux and VLC for Windows.
So I guess it’s in the file.

Is there an updated version of divxenc, or another tool to generate MKV’s
directly ?

The best place to go for divxenc support is this thread on doom9 forum: h264enc for Linux - Page 24 - Doom9’s Forum
… user froggy1 is the developer of the divxenc script on that forum.

Or alternatively, join IRC chat freenode #suse or #suseunbound … and user microchip on IRC chat is also “froggy1” (its another handle he goes by) and you could bring this up directly with him.

I should have searched on h264, instead of mkv. I allready had his
repository listed, from installing divxenc. Just had to add h264enc.

I’ll give it a try.

Thanks !
