I've recently installed Ubuntu (Feisty) and installed VLC, having heard how brilliant it is. But it doesn't seem very good for subtitles. I watch a lot of anime, and the subtitles are mostly ok (albeit ugly), but whenever more than one line is spoken at once the two lines appear in the same space and are completely unreadable.
This is especially apparent in opening credits where two sets of subtitles appear at once, one English and one Japanese (Romanised). In Media Player Classic in Windows, one appears at the bottom as normal, the other appears at the top. In VLC in Ubuntu they both appear on top of each other at the bottom. Similarly if two people speak at once.
I also tried Mplayer, which showed only the English subtitles - the Japanese ones were nowhere to be found! And within the episode, when two people were speaking simultaneously only one person's dialogue was shown.
Anyone got any suggestions? Or will I have to restrict my anime viewing to Windows for now?
