Trouble with smi subtitle files

[himrich]

My sister-in-law is visiting from Korea and I desperately want to have Korean subtitles appear in my avi movies running in Front Row. (Mac OS 10.5.8)

The only subtitles I can find are smi. I have researched enough to know that I must name the files exactly the same, eg Sherlock Holmes.avi and Sherlock Holmes.smi and be in the same folder. When opening the movie in VLC I get a subtitle but it is garbage characters. When opening the movie in Front Row (I assume it is using QT Player) I see nothing at all.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,

Rick

Have you tried http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=5476974&postcount=6 ? Google for korean fonts.

Yes I tried that but it didn't work with the Korean fonts already installed in the MacOS and I couldn't find the one he mentioned anywhere. Also, after pointing by subtitles toward my Korean font I got an error message every time I played another movie in VLC.

Beside I don't really want to watch in VLC but via Front Row so I can use the little remote Apple includes.
