| Hello guys, I was searching on internet about how to write Hindi/Devanagari subtitles for a movie, and I kept coming back here, unfortunately I haven't found any answers so here is a question
also if u have any info on this please redirect me over there thanks ! okay now I have a ENGLISH movie, I got its subtitles in English in .srt format. now I needed those subtitles in Hindi/devanagari, so i wrote a file using s/w BARAHA, whose font is UTF-8 format and widely supported in Windows and on internet. Now I have the Hindi/Devanagari .srt file but when I select subtitles in VLC media player it just shows squares. so is there any way to use these subtitles without BURNING THEM in a movie ? like English ones? and also is there sub title form and a player which supports UTF-8 format ? info: Hindi/Devanagari in BARAHA subtitles in .SRT format video player VLC media player/windows media player Problem: cant see hindi/devanagari font on video just shows blank sqaures. any help would be kindly appreciated! | ||

| thanks a LOT it WORKS like a charm!
but can you tell me more universal solution, like how to work it out with every other player or DVD player? hope thats not pushing too far. I can change the font/text to more suitable as there are many available. The thing is I am doing this for my parents back at home. there is a Proggie called LIPS- by CDAC but its out of reach for common man. thanks again, and please let me know any further. I want to get this done. | ||

| well i tried vsfilter with classic media player it worked, but in a hurry I didnt see that, there was no voice/sound.
so I tried lookin for solutions, and I found CCCP ( comes with classic media player built in)[http://cccp-project.net/download.php?type=cccp] and it gives be both, picture with subtitles in devanagari and sound too. Now I have to see how it works with VLC. let me try and get back to the community . | ||

| cccp and vsfilter wont work with vlc because vlc uses builtin codecs.
I use ffdshow instead of cccp codec pack. | ||

well tried ffdshow, Which I say gives loooooot of option in VLC, one of them is subtitle in video. it also gave me option to have unicode encoding in VLC, i even changed a font in VLC to various devanagari fonts. if I set it as original devanagari as a default font it shows ???, where as if I set another devanagari font it shows garbled characters in devanagari. I think its getting some where ffdshow is also a good one |
