[MPlayer-users] vobsub subtitles without .ifo file

[Sander Smeenk]

Quoting Piotr Krukowiecki (piotr at pingu.ii.uj.edu.pl):

You do not need it. For what I know, .ifo files contain information
about fontsize, fontcolour and stuff like that, and when you don't have
the .ifo file mplayer will use it's defaults.

Try mplayer -v -vobsub BaseNameOfSubFile -vobsubid 1 file.avi

Then quit mplayer and scroll back to the top of the output and read 
what SID's are what languages...

Regards
Sander.
