libass VS mpc-hc

TIL there's a library called 'libass'

Not Rust but libass :D

Dunno ... I'm kinda glad these guys didn't call their SSA/ASS implementation "open"

I see libass gets talked about on Reddit often enough.

libass is similar. For example, in the header:

libass

Using softsub allows you to reduce server usage as you only needs to deploy one video and multiple subtitles, but implementing it is hard: you can use this portable renderer, but just because it compiles to multiple platforms it does mean it run well on those, it might crash in low-end devices (there is even a Crunchyroll episode that loads multiple fonts at the same time, place a lot of texts moving and crash my phone).

Your link is the old/abandonware mpc-hc, here you'll find a more recent version

And just in case you are playing this on a PC, try playing them with either VLC or Media Player Classic (up2date clsid2 fork), both are capable of playing these files.

I have had no problems with MPC-HC: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc Clsid2 was immeadiately it's successor

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/ it says march 3rd and its the same one k lite codec uses https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

MPC-HC is the premier Windows player. It has pitch corrected playback speeds. Alternatively, Audacity can as well, but it's more complicated. MPC-HC is also the best movie player you can get.

Open releases on the right side of the page, go to a version of your choosing and at the bottom of the post in the Assets section choose whatever binary you need. Alternatively, you could use a windows packet manager such as chocolatey, for example, and it can handle all that for you. They do have both outdated and the modern fork of MHC-HC
