idx and sub

[natty]

I have these 2 files which I believe are subtitles but how do you add to movie and what language are they as it dont say I want english

[Baldrick]

Play with MPCHC, File->Load subtitle. Or Use VLC Media Player, Video->Subtitle track->Open File.

Or do you want to hardcode the subs in the video?

[Case]

What language are they?

Try opening the .idx file in a text editor. It usually has the language name listed somewhere near the top of the file.

I dont know if this is right but all I could find in the idx file regarding language is this so I suppose its chinese yeah,


# Language index in use
langidx: 0

# Chinese
id: zh, index: 0
# Decomment next line to activate alternative name in DirectVobSub / Windows Media Player 6.x
# alt: Chinese

There are lots of guides about hard coding subs in AVI. For example:

http://www.calcitapp.com/IdxSub2Srt.php for srt /ripbot264 for hardcoding, Ripbot method: Open the video, select properties, permanent subitles/build in picture and open the sub file.

You either have English subs or you do not. The (presumably) DVD source may not have English subs. Or the person who ripped it did not rip English subs for you and only ripped Chinese subs. If there is no option to select them under VLC then you don't have them.
