i have several video files on my hard drive and they play perfectly except for one thing the sub titles do not appear on bs player pro or vlc

they work perfect on zoom player but i would prefer them to work on bsplayer.

any one got any ideas? their .mkv files btw

and gspot doesn't give me any info about the codecs required

My idea is to post in the windows/software forum, rather than GD.

Alternatively, try www.videohelp.com

i was under the impression from this thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17852893&highlight=codec

that these types of questions were ok here :S

is there a specific part of the web site you mentioned that would help with my problem? that site seems pretty big and im not sure where to start?

Two wrongs don't make a right.

lol good point

Van Hellseek · 20 Mar 2008 at 02:41

I assume you are talking about a video file which has soft-subs? (a seperate subtitles file).

Yrkoon · 20 Mar 2008 at 02:45

no there is one file for the video and the subs appear to be in the same .mkv file.

when i open a individual file eg ep2 in zoom player it works good with subs so i assume i have the codecs needed.

the problem happens when i try to use bsplayer (preferred player) or vlc player the video works perfect except i get no subtitles

edit: i even get the subs on my psp after converting a single file to mpg-4

In VLC, have you tried enabling the subs from the video tab? (after the video begins playing).

Yrkoon · 20 Mar 2008 at 02:50

ahh cheers that done the trick in vlc

im guessing theres a similar option in bsplayer i hope

Yrkoon · 20 Mar 2008 at 03:19

sorry for the double post but i think some one might get a laugh out of this

the files i want to work with subs have subs in the opening on bsplayer but losses subs as soon as the intro finishes

lol

does any one have any idea why that is happening im about to go nuts as it is my preferred player

i be drunk

YOU'RE DRUNK OMGZ

Yrkoon · 20 Mar 2008 at 04:08

i may be drunk but bs player is annoying me right now with mkv files it is taunting me by shown sub titles on the intro of a program and then stopping them when the program gets past the intro

Van Hellseek · 20 Mar 2008 at 04:15

Then use VLC?

Why the hell would anyone prefer bsplayer? The clue is in it's name tbh... BS.

Yrkoon · 20 Mar 2008 at 04:29

vlc is actually annoying me more.

the fan sub notes that usually appear at the top of the screen are appearing right behind the normal subs at the bottom....

bs player doesn't do that and they show fine in zoom player..
