Philips CD-i System and Subtitles
#1
i just tested my old cd-i movies in xbmc and it works!

the cd-i movie is split into 2 cd´s so i copied avseq01.dat from each cd and renamed it to movie cd1.avi, movie cd2.avi, streams perfectly from smb now :thumbsup:

the movies had subtitles on the cd-i, so i started to look around on the video cd´s and found the subtitles, but it´s not in any format i know and doesn´t seem to have a time index.

to the question; is it possible to make the cd-i subtitles work in xbmc??

here is a sample of the beginning of a cd-i subtitle for your analasys...

yes cd-i´s are just plain video cd´s, the text on a cd-i is a different matter it seems, i have a bunch of classics on cd-i video discs and it would be a bonus to have them with subtitles.

fully understood, xbmc is great as it is, no complaints here Smile

but maybe it would be possible to convert the subs outside of xbmc, as i can tell (not a programmer) there seems to be binary or bitmaps between the text would you agree?
