Is this why I see all that junk on my anime subtitles?
I keep seeing things like:
0,text,0,0,0,0,more text
preceding all the subtitles of certain episodes i watch? The string is always the same for a particular episode.
It's very annoying, forcing me to try to start reading half way through each subtitle. Sigh... I'm surprised if this
is the case because, well, it seems like such a basic thing to be overlooked.
I keep hoping for better subtitle improvements that just doesn't seem to happen. For example: some text that need to be located in a specific spot - top of screen - concurrent to regular text being displayed - bottom of screen - ends up getting mixed up as regular text and disappearing after a split second. Things like when you see a street sign in Japanese and at the top it displays the english text "Kawafuma Street" while the regular dialog is at the bottom. What happens here is "Kawafuma Street" ends up being mixed with the talking text and appears for a split second. Other examples are when there's a crowd background saying miscellaneous things (normally displayed at top) while at the bottom the characters are talking, it all gets mixed up and confuses the hell outta me what's going on. Simple things like that makes me shake my head and wonder just how professional this player is. Sorry if I'm being a little too critical, but I have to say how I feel in this case. This stuff has happened in a few movies too from what I remember.
