QuickTime - Perian Subtitle Size - Smaller please?

[mgpg89]

I use Perian to watch subtitled movies in QuickTime Pro.

But the font size is HUGE.
Long sentences even tend to take up half the screen.

Any way to fix this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I really don't think they're adjustable.
I tried googling it and found nothing relevant either.

I don't think it's possible to change that, but what kind of subtitles? Hard Coded? A subtitle file? Closed captioning?

In any case, I don't think it is at all possible to do what you want, sorry.

In Quicktime go to Window->Show Movie Properties (command + j)
Then, select "Video Track 2" (it must have "Text Subtitle" as Format), go to Visual Settings and edit the Scaled Size to font size and Offset to reacomodate the subtitles.

Enjoy!

PS: I will try Media Center Today!

Thank you

It works better than the original Perian.
Why isn't this included to begin with?

Thanks again

Didn't work. Won't play .mkv files.

However, this did:

In Quicktime go to Window->Show Movie Properties (command + j)
Then, select "Video Track 2" (it must have "Text Subtitle" as Format), go to Visual Settings and edit the Scaled Size to font size and Offset to reacomodate the subtitles.

You must allow Perian to completely finish loading/converting the video before it will allow settings to be modified.

please help me here!
I'm using Quicktime X with Perian 1.2.1 and running on snow leopard, but i don't see "Show Movie Properties" when i'm at window. the closest thing i saw was "Show Movie Inspector". which brings up an information box and nothing more, nothing for me to select video track 2...my subs are in srt format btw.
or is it not working because i'm not using quicktime pro?

Quicktime X doesn't allow modification of tracks in that way; you want to do the optional Quicktime 7 install (it's on the OS disks, or you might already have it--the player is in the Utilities folder, not Applications) and modify it from there.

Although I'm not actually positive you can do that if you don't have QT Pro, which isn't free--I haven't personally used a system without Pro for a while. Regardless, the previous instructions assume QT Player 7, which isn't on Snow Leopard by default.

i guess i have to live with the big fonts in QT X...

cheers for your answers!
