Default subtitles very large

[pinn73]

Hello

Subtitles which have downloaded with the file are very large despite me changing the size in kodi settings. If I download a sub through kodi this is at the size expected as per my settings. Any ideas?

Hi,

Are these .sub .idx subs:

Scaling of DVD subtitles

I have seen this happen in the other direction as well… When you watch a 1080p or 4k video with .sub .idx (DVD) subtitles the subs looks blurry. While .srt, or .sup look nice and crisp. I know this happens because .sub basically contains pictures of the text in DVD resolution that are placed under the main video you are playing. Meanwhile .srt is just a text directory with time stamps But maybe there is a way to make it look nicer ?

Thanks Tom.

They appear to be embedded in the video file so that may be why. Not a biggie as it’s a rarity this happens.

Thanks

yes Its .sub .idx subs. As explained I know why they look blurry. Its because .sub is a collection of pictures with the lines of subtitles that are then planted in the standard subtitle location on the screen and since they are ment for dvd they dont match 1080p or better videos and look blurry.

I’m just wondering if there is a way to make it less visible.

I always experience the default subs too large/immune to my settings. If i download the first on the list from subscene it then applies my settings (small font/grey).
