  1. Hey all

    I have a .divx file, and it came with a .idx and .sub file. im guessing the .idx and .sub are for the subtitles.

    my question is, how do i get the subtitles to work? the .sub file is a VLC file icon, so im guessing it works somehow, i just dont know how.

    thanks!!!!

    In VLC click File/Open
    Under the File Tab Click the browse button and locate your file
    Click the check box that says "Load Subtitles File:"
    The the settings button next to the subtitles check box
    Click the browse button and find your subtitles file

  4. Load .sub only....idx is something else...When You push play, check on "Video" menu under "Subtitles track" is Your subtitle disabled or enabled...

  6. Then Your .sub file is not loaded...Try again...Or use MPlayerX...With MPlayer all You have to do is to drag and drop .avi and .sub at the same time onto playlist and hit play...

  7. this is wierd.... Mplayer recognizes that the subs are loaded, they just dont work... im going to go ahead and guess that the subs are encoded wrong or something

  8. Ok, I have:

    movie.avi
    movie.sub
    movie.idx

    Mplayer and VLC don't play back the subtitles - I have tried all options in both programs - and yes subtitles are toggled on in Mplayer.

    I am not too worried about this movie playing back on my computer with the subtitles --->

    I want to:
    burn the .avi movie including the subtitles to CD for play back on my DivX compatible DVD player (JVC XV-N316).

    Firstly, can I achieve the above?
    Secondly, I wanted to convert the subtitles to .srt and try that (don't know if this will work tho) but I could not find any Mac OSX subtitle rippers/converters.

    If my subtitle solution involves conversion how do I convert .sub to .srt (or any other format needed) on a Mac? (Virtual PC probably an option but I can't be bothered installing it).

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.
