MPC and SRT subs

[marioval]

I can play videos with subs when the sub name is the same as the file name however I cannot turn them off. I have my output set to DirectShow VRM7/9 Renderless. As the video is playing, i right click and the subtitles menu is greyed out. I installed Vobsub to see if that would fix it but no luck. Any other thoughts? Thanks

Have you checked under Play->Subtitles and Navigate->Subtitles and Play->Filter->vobsub/vsfilter ?

Under play, the subtitles menu is greyed out.

Bump

Anyone?

Are you actually using MPC or the mplay2.exe from XP?

Sometimes you have to select vmr 7 renderless to get the subtitles to not be grayed out.

[marioval]

Yes I am actually using MPC. I do have VRM7 Renderless as my 1st post stated. Thank you.

Do any other icons show up in your taskbar tray when you're playing a video with subs, such as a slightly-curved green arrow?

yes I get 2 icons. Red ffshow icon and the green arrow icon you mentioned.

Okay, the green arrow indicates you have (Direct) Vobsub installed. Right-click on it, and there should be some subtitle stream options as well.

ffdshow also has subtitle options, but it's less likely to be the culprit... so if experimenting with Vobsub's subtitle stream options doesn't help, check ffdshow's options (in the video decoder/VfW options).

Ok, clicking on the green arrow allows me to turn the subs on and off so mission accomplished. Is there a way to control the subs from within MPC or is this how I am stuck doing it?

[Ai Haibara]

Actually, I'm not sure. I just became used to and preferred changing the subtitle options from the Vobsub tray icon, rather than directly through MPC. :/
