How to positioning subtitles

[aslan]

Wheater its a dvd or divx it looks like the subtitle has its own life. Sometimes it's "inside" the video/picture frame sometimes under or way under, and somtimes halt the text on the picture and the other half under.
So the question is (for you that understood my "strange" explanation), what is determing the position of the subtitle, is the dvd/div-x movie itself or the player (DVD player / VLC)?
And is it possible to change that position?
Please if that is possible, how do you do it for
1. a dvd movie
2. a div-x (avi or mpg) movie

Positioning is determined by the player.

Hi-

There are only a couple of DVD players that can change the height of subtitles, so for DVDs that's almost always determined in the DVD itself and not by the player. For AVIs, if the subs are "burned in" or embedded, then of course there's nothing you can do. For external subs, maybe there's a way to adjust the height, but if there is, I don't know about it. For playing AVIs on a computer using a software player, many have the ability to adjust the height, and for certain subtitle formats (SSA, for example), it's possible to set the height in advance.

For DVDs, you can adjust the height by putting the DVD on your hard drive and using the vertical position slider of DVDSubEdit to adjust the subs to your liking, saving it, and then reburning to disc.
