On the left you’ll find a drop-down list for the code page available. Load your subtitles into the program (this will work with SRT format only) in the Subtitles Tab, then click on the “…” icon on the right.Ģ. Here is how to do this with ConvertXtoDVDġ. The code page is responsible for character recognition and display. If you have subtitles in a foreign language, especially one with non-latin characters (arabic, asian, greek, Russian, etc), you may have an incorrect display of these subs in the preview window of ConvertXtoDVd and VSO Video Converter.ĭon’t worry though, the solution is simple: you need to choose the correct code page for these characters. they were arabic but their collective didnt make up any word i knew.How to have your subtitles displayed correctly? Hopefully! in vlc when the encoding was ANSI the letters were separated and not in order. I'm mentioning this because it might help. The font should be the one mentioned in the ssa file. This is not the solution I'm looking for. One user said, from an old topic, to go to preferences - subtitles - then select the right font from the list when you click on font. Is there a way to display it while in ANSI instead of saving with UTF8 encoding? Moving on, even though it worked, the font was clearly not the one i set via subtitle workshop. So I opened the srt file and saved it as UTF8 and opened the movie again and the letters were displayed. I opened it with bsplayer and i got wierd english letters/symbols. The output settings of that program include settings for ssa so i chose the font, the size, etc and saved the file. This software has been mentioned many times in the topics I read (did a bit of searching before posting :D) so I'm sure many of you readers are familiar with it. I am using Subtitle workshop to create arabic subtitles.
