Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.1-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
I've got a 17" monitor on a system without DVD drive, and a 12" monitor
on a laptop with DVD drive. This is a perfect situation to use VLC's
streaming properties -- viewing DVD movies on a larger monitor is so
much more comfortable, while I prefer not having to copy an entire DVD
image to the other system's hard disk.
However, since my LAN is only a 10Mbit one currently, streaming a DVD at
full quality simply isn't possible; it requires more bandwith than what
I have available. So, I selected the transcoding option in the VLC
interface. While experimenting with that option, I discovered that
scaling down the resolution of the stream while leaving the stream's
bitrate on maximum has a much higher impact on the required bandwith
than doing it the other way around, while the impact on quality is
negligable (so long as the scale isn't too high).
Unfortunately, something went wrong with subtitles; they just didn't
appear on the output. Only when I played a DVD that at one point had the
subtitles all on top did I find out what went wrong: these are simply
not scaled, they're still on the original scale. As a result, if the
stream is transcoded to a lower resolution, subtitles won't be visible.

According to upstream it's not a bug. This bug is very old and won't be
fixed. Therefore I am closing it.
