I was going through crunchyroll and they have a good selection of anime, however a lot of them are hard subbed, and all there movies and tv shows are hard subbed so I can not hide them, when I would prefer to watch them raw. Same with some dramas and movies I will find on youtube, which have subtitles too.
My question is does anyone here have any good ideas of covering up subtitles with some item or another? I havent been able to think of anything yet, but if someone knows of something please post.

Piece of paper + scotch tape

Yep, sometimes the simplest answers are the best. Just cut a piece of paper into the right size and stick it over the subtitles. On laptops and some monitors tape isn't even necessary, just stick the paper into the bottom of the screen a little and it'll stay in place.

for anime, nowadays they release it in mkv format. So you can disable eng.subs and watch it as if you where watching it raw.

If there are no softsubbed mkv's around, you could also use nyaatorrents or perfect dark to find an actual raw.

You're going to want to stop watching anime. It's terrible.

Sorry, I just wanted to troll a bit. Uhh... I'm not fond of anime so I can't give you locations to find those raw, but for TV you can go to D-Addicts.

This

I just drag the window down such that it's partially off screen.

If your using Media Player Classic, you can use the num-pad controls to enlarge the movie so just the bottom is cropped off. Works pretty good for 4:3 anime on my widescreen, since I can just enlarge it to fit the entire screen.

The mplayer can filter it out. Add the following to your config file (in linux: ~/.mplayer/config):

Code:

vf=delogo=x:y:w:h:t

Description from the man:

Code:

delogo[=x:y:w:h:t]
              Suppresses a TV station logo by a simple  interpolation  of  the
              surrounding  pixels.  Just set a rectangle covering the logo and
              watch it disappear (and sometimes something even uglier appear -
              your mileage may vary).
                 <x>,<y>
                      top left corner of the logo
                 <w>,<h>
                      width and height of the cleared rectangle
                 <t>  Thickness of the fuzzy edge of the rectangle (added to w
                      and h).  When set to -1, a green rectangle is  drawn  on
                      the screen to simplify finding the right x,y,w,h
                      parameters.

It works in its frontends too (GNOME MPlayer, SMPlayer, etc.). I recommend the latter: http://sourceforge.jp/projects/smplayer/

my same technique as well and you can sit far enough that you can't read the subs or just try not to look at them which is hard
