Blurred or Cropped Subtitles?
#1
I just wanted to get some opinions on other peoples preferences when it comes to movies with HC subs that you do not want. Which option do you prefer? The reason I ask is because I've uploaded a few torrents recently with blurred subtitles and want to see which option most people prefer.

1. Blurred Area.
In some movies this works fine as it is constant and easy to forget about while watching the movie.

2. Blending Affect.
My personal favorite and the option I've used in the torrents I've uploaded. This option can sometimes be a bit distracting depending on the background.

3. Don't Mind Subtitles.
Korean subs I can handle but sometimes the Chinese subs that take the whole bottom part of the screen I can't handle.

4. Cropped.
Depends on the movie in my opinion. But I personally don't prefer this option.

I'm with Bob on this one.

-and-

While option 2, blending, may look better than the other options you offered, I would be pissed off if I took the time to download (and fair seeded back) something and find the video was altered -UNLESS- it was CLEARLY marked (named and description) that it had been altered in that way.

I feel you on that one. This has happened to me countless times. I usually waited along with you guys but my dad couldn't wait for Grudge Match but he hated the subs. Now that I got the settings okay, might as well do some other ones for anyone that wants it.

Sorry still kinda new, What do you mean? Like am I not labeling my torrents correctly or are you just saying?

Nothing pisses me off more than cropping the subs out. it ruins 30% of the image!

I dont mind subtitles, but Im not going to pretend these korean, japanese, chinese subs arent annoying. I pass on these unless I really want to see the movie. If I had to choose, Id go with blended (never heard of that before) because even blurred helps. Cropped is actually okay, if you have no idea. lol I watched Jobs with cropped subs but didnt know at the time. Later I felt cheated, but while watching I didnt notice. and it was better than had it had big ass subs.


Note to uploaders. Never, ever, ever, hard code subs. Ever.

That's what happened to me with Grudge Match haha the copy I watched at my brothers house was cropped and didn't notice at all until I went home to download myself. Same as you I felt like I was missing something so I blurred the subs.
