Hi. I'm trying to play a movie in vlc. I have a folder that includes the sub, idx and avi files. I've tried dropping the idx and the sub files (separately and together) into the vlc window after loading the avi. I understand that idx points to sub. I've tried clicking on every track in the video dropdown under subtitles in vlc. No subtitles. What am I missing?
Any help would be most appreciated.![]()

They look like this: video.idx, video.sub, video.2008. But when I look at the properties of the video.2008, it says it's an .avi file. Is the problem in the way it appears as .2008?
Thanks much for the link to the MPCHC. I will try that if I can't get it to work in VLC, where I prefer to view videos. -

I did just try that. It ended up showing as video.avi.avi. So I guess "avi" was the imbedded extension and it just appeared to be 2008. Either way, it didn't play. I guess I'll download MPCHC, and try that, but it's a little annoying to have to go to that trouble when all my other files play fine in VLC. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. And thanks for your help so far.
