How to increase font size of subtitles?

[ocean]

Hi everybody,
Is there any chance to change the size of subtitles of mkv on E-series tvs, maybe a change in a tv's file...?
Most of my mkvs have VobSub subtitles that are shown on tv but just in a too little size.

I think this someone should create a patch for this. As we have such patch for B and D series, it should be enough just to port it.
We testing new method to patch exeDSP in memory. THis is like injectso or gdbtrick we know since b series...

The Problem is that the size of other vobsubs is big enough but I don't see any differences in scale and so on. Maybe it's enough to change anywhere in the file itsself...

What about D series, same small sized subtitles?

[ocean]

on D-Series I just can handle Srt-subtitles, so that's a different story...

Ok, got a solution for my prob.
- Extract Vobsub with "MKVcleaver" out of your mkv
- Change scale in idx file

Code: Select all

# VobSub index file, v7 (do not modify this line!)
size: 720x576
org: 0, 0
scale: 100%, 100%
alpha: 100%
smooth: OFF
fadein/out: 50, 50
align: OFF at LEFT TOP
time offset: 0
forced subs: OFF

(for me 150% was an acceptable size, but depends on subtitle)
- Mux mkv again with "mkvmerge" and use your changed idx as subtitle
- Enjoy a bigger subtitle
