Difference between directvobsub and vobsub

[Xandal]

Hey, I'm just wondering what's the difference between DirectVobSub and VobSub. I use K-Lite's Mega Codec Pack because I watch a lot of anime and it's a pretty cool codec pack. Comes with MPC with I love and all that good stuff. It also comes with DirectVobSub which is great for letting me see the subtitles in .mkv and .ogm files. However, I was looking at tutorials on here for other problems and found VobSub which I installed. Since then my subtitles stopped working, now I re-installed K-Lite and took out the DirectVobSub and I also un-installed VobSub. I need to know which I should use. I like to be able to see my subtitles as well as being able to mux them into videos :/ (Doing both would be great XD)

Use directvobsub / vsfilter.

The vobsub-package contains some tools that might be useful but the included vobsub-decoder has not been updated for years. I guess you just can install the tools and not the decoder if you are going to use them.
