-<P>Yes, <B>MPlayer</B> also supports many kinds of subtitles. Currently
-10 kinds of subtitle can be used by the subreader code. To see what are

+VobSub subtitles consist of a big (some megabytes) .SUB file, and optional
+.IDX and/or .IFO files.<BR>
Usage : if you have files like <CODE>sample.sub</CODE>, <CODE>sample.ifo</CODE>,
<CODE>sample.idx</CODE> - you have to pass the <CODE>-vobsub sample -vobsubid
-0</CODE> options (optionally with pathname, of course). The
+&lt;id&gt;</CODE> options (optionally with pathname, of course). The
<CODE>-vobsubid</CODE> option is like <CODE>-sid</CODE> for DVDs, you can
choose between subtitle tracks (languages) with it.</P>
+<P>
+<B>Other subtitles</B><BR>
+The other formats consist of a single text file containing timing, placement
+and text information.<BR>
+Usage : if you have a file like <CODE>sample.txt</CODE>, you have to pass
+the option <CODE>-sub sample.txt (optionally with pathname, of course).
+</P>
+
+<P>
+<B>Adjusting subtitle timing and placement</B><BR>
+
+<CODE>-subdelay &lt;sec&gt;</CODE> : Delays subtitles by &lt;sec&gt; seconds. Can be negative.<BR>
+<CODE>-subfps &lt;rate&gt;</CODE> : Specify frame/sec rate of subtitle file (float number)<BR>
+<CODE>-subpos &lt;0 - 100&gt;</CODE> : Specify the position of subtitles.<BR>
+</P>
+<P>
+If you experience a growing delay between the movie and the subtitles when using a MicroDVD
+subtitle file, most likely the frame rate of the movie and the subtitle file are different.<BR>
+Please note that the MicroDVD subtitle format uses absolute frame numbers for its
+timing, and therefore the <CODE>-subfps</CODE> option cannot be used with this format. As
+<B>MPlayer</B> has no way to guess the frame rate of the subtitle file, you have to manually
+convert the frame rate. There is a little perl script in the <CODE>contrib</CODE> directory of
+the MPlayer ftp site to do this conversation for you.

<P>About DVD subtitles, read the <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.2">DVD section</A>.</P>
<P><B>MPlayer</B> introduces a new subtitle format called <B><I>MPsub</I></B>.
