[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/2] Set subtitle track dimensions for mov_text to display the subtitles properly

[Niklesh Lalwani]

Ok so it goes like this.

We first find out the height and width of the video stream from the header
box. The dimensions of the text track (subtitle track) is then set (in
pixels). Here, we have used the width equal to the width of the video, and
height equal to 1/10 of the video height.
The write matrix specifies the coordinate origin and the translation values
from the origin, ie, where to place the subtitle track. Here, we have set
tx = 0; and ty = 9/10 of the video track height.
There is also a text box inside this subtitle area, inside which the text
is rendered. For now, this is set equal to the the subtitle track
dimensions.

Philip, please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,

Niklesh
