ASS subtitle position

Hi,

My player is Sony BDP-S480, I am testing the subtitle position in ASS with below parameters.
[V4+ Styles]
Format: Name, Fontname, Fontsize, PrimaryColour, SecondaryColour, OutlineColour, BackColour, Bold, Italic, Underline, BorderStyle, Outline, Shadow, Alignment, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, AlphaLevel, Encoding
Style: Default,Arial,16,&Hffffff,&Hffffff,&H0,&H0,0,0,0,1,1,0,2,10,10,10,0,0
Alignment: 8

If the "Alignment" works, the subtitle should display in the up center of the screen, but actually not, the subtitle position seems not affected by "Alignment".

Please advise how to change subtitle position in ASS.

Thanks

Steven

I made some test here : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8255#p57781
But I don't remember if I play with "Alignment" options

EDIT: Spécification en français (in french)

If you look at the spec : http://www.perlfu.co.uk/projects/asa/ass-specs.doc

Could you try this :

[V4+ Styles]
Format: Name, Fontname, Fontsize, PrimaryColour, SecondaryColour, OutlineColour, BackColour, Bold, Italic, Underline, BorderStyle, Outline, Shadow, Alignment, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, AlphaLevel, Encoding
Style: Default,Arial,16,&Hffffff,&Hffffff,&H0,&H0,0,0,0,1,1,0,8,10,10,10,0,0

Hi Illico,

Thank you for your reply.

I did check your previous post, you didn't test Alignment.

Anyway my gold is display subtitle in the black area (when play 1080P MKV video, most of videos show on my TV will have two black area, one on the top, one on the bottom).

Regards

Steven

Hi Illico,

The parameter you suggested was correct, anyway I tried below parameter, only half of subtitle displayed, the other half of subtitle is hided in the black area, I think that's means the subtitle cannot be displayed in the black area.
[V4+ Styles]

Test completed.

Thanks

It seems that for your request, you will need ASS2 format [V4 Styles++] and use "RelativeTo" format option.
Look at this french specification of ASS2.

Si le champ "RelativeTo" est à 0, les coordonnées permettant de déterminer la position des lignes de sous-titre sont calculées en incluant les bandes noires (Relative to Screen).

If the field "RelativeTo"Is 0, the coordinates for determining the position of the lines subtitle are calculated including the black bars (Relative to Screen).

If the field "RelativeTo"Is 1, as for ASS (Relative to Frame).

Also look at this : http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=811063


But the ffmpeg libass does not support V4++

Hi Illico,

Thank you for the information.
