Cih subtitle master thread

If you have a link or just want to list a title, put it in this thread. I will be moving everything to this first page on a regular basis.


This list is only for ENGLISH language subs. (Star Wars-type alien translations, foreign films with English subs or English language films with English subs for certain scenes where another language is spoken.) This list WILL NOT cover SDH subs or subs in a foreign language for an English language release, although I think another thread is a great idea to cover those titles.

****DISCLAIMER****

Some STANDARD DVD titles on this list may only be CIH safe if using certain Dvd players. Some titles listed as safe may in fact not be "safe" with certain players and settings. This was brought up by a concerned member. Someone step in and PM me if you know otherwise, but I believe that BD titles are going to be the same regardless of player as this is an authoring issue and players are not capable of relocating subs.


[EDIT]Please note: Most Blu-ray Players will shift the Bit Map subtitle on DVD up by approx 10% giving the illusion that the STs are actually in the picture. This is why Star Wars has been moved to STs out of the picture.

I think this thread will still be useful for knowing whether or not you will need to move the subtitles.

Also helpful for people who don't have an OPPO.



What frustrates me are movies primarily in English with a couple of subtitled scenes. I might not know they're coming until the scene comes on and I have no idea what anyone is saying.

That happened to me last night when watching "Eagles over London". A couple of lines were in German and I don't know if they had subtitles or not. I still don't know what they said.


BTW, why does Severin even release Blu Ray's? Their releases are a disgrace to the format. I seriously doubt that the DVD looks any worse than what was on my screen last night.

If you go directly on site you cannot find that firmware, you need to use that link posted above.

I would not recommend this firmware. There are some known bugs (some minor, some major) which will make this firmware not ideal for many users.


You should only use this firmware if you absolutely need to take advantage of European and Asian release of Terminator Salvation.


This firmware was NOT designed for testing CIH.

Can you expound on what the major and minor bugs are?

Geeeze. I was planning on loading it this weekend

Are Subtitles, written translations, and closed captions all being handled the same way on the Oppo? I use closed caption a lot when I have a hard time understanding the dialogue. I also would like written translations of foreign language dialogue to be completely visible. Are these both considered subtitles?

The movie was released in the US by Warner Bros. However, it's a Sony title overseas. Different studios means different disc authoring.

"SDH" captions are just another sutitle track on the disc, and should be handled the same. However, if you literally mean the Closed Caption option, with white text in a black box, that's something that your TV reads off the blanking interval in the video signal. It's not something that your disc player has control over.

Cool. So it looks like this SONY title is CIH safe.

Thanks cranky member.


It's my understanding that Samsung BR players keep subtitles on the screen in the anamorphic 2:35 mode.

These players shift the bit mapped STs on a DVD up by about 10%. They will not shift STs on a BD. Therefore films like the STAR WARS saga and the LOTR trilogy will now have the STs in the picture on DVD.

Hey Mark, First, thanks again for handling this thread for me. I hope I can pick back up with it really soon.


I have a question for you regarding the Star Wars and LOTR films on DVD. I discussed this earlier in this thread but with my system (currently an Escient DVDM100 and 3 Sony ES 400 disc changers), the Star Wars films all show the subs IN the picture area. I haven't tried LOTR since I switched projectors so I can't comment on that. Why are the subs CIH safe on some players but not others? Any ideas? Take care.

Are these DVD or BD players? It seems Blu-ray players shift the STs up by about 10%. They also H-Squeeze 4 x 3 discs so that everything is compatible with 16:9 screens, which of course means CIH friendly as well.


I have old screen caps from Star Wars Ep 4 with Jabba where I used V-Stretch to shift the STs, then when I upgraded to BD found that the player moved these automatically. I wish it was the case for BD Sts as well. Sadly, this is not the case due to a "protected video stream" for BD. DVD generally uses a bitmap, so re-location is easy. Those titles with STs burned in will not move, however, these STs are already in the picture - IE "True Lies" and "The Jackel".

I am pretty sure it is CIH freindly. I need to watch it again when Santa
brings me a copy in about 3 days
