re: Windows Media Player and .srt files

Before you do that, if you want to watch the movie in WMP you can also do that.

Either with DirectVobSub or with ffdshow
I've used both, and ffdshow seems to be faster with starting up, and takes up less resources, but either work fine with any WMP edition.

Once installed, make sure your .srt file has the exact same name as your media file.
E.g. you want to play FindIng-NemO.mpg make sure the srt will be this: FindIng-NemO.srt (f2, ctrl+c on the movie then ctrl+v on the srt)

If done correctly, on DirectVobSub you'll get to see a green arrow in the right lower right part of your screen, and with ffdshow you'll get to see either an audio and/or video codec icon in the lower right part of your screen.

re: Windows Media Player and .srt files

Right, I will make it clearer for you, and with the use of ffdshow now.
So first, just uninstall DirectVobSub, and download ffdshow, as provided in my other post and install it.

After installing ffdshow, go to the folder where you've located your movie, and be sure to also have put the .srt file in there. Like so:



Now, start your movie, and you should see these two (or only one) icons appear in the lower right part of your screen:



Now check if your subtitle runs smoothly along with the spoken texts in the movie. If not, try other version, but if there aren't any, there's a way to fix that too, just let us know if this has worked to show the subtitles in WMP.

re: Windows Media Player and .srt files

Ok, for ffdshow, you can set it to C:\Program Files\Ffdshow if you want. It doesn't change how the program works or anything.

For the installation itself, just leave everything at it's default and you'll be fine.

Yes, those are exactly the ones I'm talking about. Weird that my pics don't show up, but by the sound of it, everything has been done correctly.
I'm thinking what could possibly be wrong right now, but I'm pretty blank on suggestions now...
Are you absolutely possitivily sure you have the same names? Caps, weird numbers/markt, anything...? Try to remove the .srt part, and see if that changes anything.

It could also be that you have downloaded a bad subtitle file though. Try to open it with notepad (right click, open with... then select notepad)
Is there any text in there? If not, then the subs won't appear, because the srt file is just blank. Try downloading another subtitle file and see if that works.

re: Windows Media Player and .srt files

Well, as RikkusRukkus suggested, VLC media player is a good one.
