It forces reduced 2-bit mode in subtitles, not a nice thing to do if you have hardware capable of displaying the original subtitles :/ In Mandriva we have a hack allowing the device plugin to force 2-bit mode: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/vdr-plugin-dxr3/current/SOURCES/dxr3-subtitles.patch?revision=197607&view=markup http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/vdr/current/SOURCES/vdr-1.6.0-dxr3.patch?revision=197494&view=markup -- Anssi Hannula ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Please search for `dpkg-buildpackage` on the WWW. It should work the following way (from memory and not tested). $ apt-get source vdr # name of your VDR package $ cd vdr-1.6… # directory with the sources should be vdr-versionnumber $ # apply the patch $ dch -v1.6.0-1-patched1 Unoffial release with dxr3 subtitles patch # adapt version accordingly, dch from devscripts package, `man dch` for questions $ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc $ sudo dpkg -i ../vdr*.deb # Choose the correct packages.

I'm not familiar with Debian packaging, but I suppose the latter would be possible, and perhaps the maintainers of your Debian VDR package would consider including the patch in the package's source tree as an optional one so it'd be easier for people who want to rebuild it. (Or even just apply it unconditionally by default, that's what we've done in Fedora for a long time and there have been no complaints.) ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
