Subtitle format specific options

Some file formats have specific settings which need to be considered when loading them with the Plug-in and in this topic you can find them all briefly explained.

PAC settings

PAC files allow the use of two fonts with different encoding as showed in the image above. The following encodings are available: Latin, Cyrillic, Cyrillic/Latin, Greek, Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, Thai, Chinese Simplified/Traditional, Japanese and Korean.

Please make sure to select the correct encoding for your file or otherwise there will most surely be a lot of non-printable, missing or incorrectly displayed characters in the text.

EBU (.stl) settings

The EBU related settings are useful when an EBU file has not been properly loaded. They are intended to overwrite certain parameters from the source file.

Force Start Box control code at the beginning of line - Inserts Start Box control code at the beginning of each line.

Force double height at the beginning of line - Insert Double Height control code at the beginning of each line. It can be used to overwrite the characters' height set by the original EBU (.STL) file whenever you feel it's necessary.

MicroDVD(.sub) and SubRip (.srt)

Sometimes, when the original .sub or .srt, created in Arabic, Hebrew or other right-to-left language, have been intended for playback on computer via some digital video player software (VLC, Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, etc.), the punctuation marks at the end of the line may incorrectly appear at the beginning. This is an issue which concerns the video player programs and how they display right-to-left text, but you can use the RTL Reorder option to get the file correctly working in Cambria without editing it.

Code Page for plain text files (.txt, .srt, .sub, .ass, etc.)

Code Page selection option is available for plain text files only like these with the .TXT, .SRT, .SUB, etc file extensions.

Please make sure to select correct code page or otherwise there will most surely be a lot of non-printable, missing or incorrectly displayed characters in the text.
