just would like to ask something on how to use vobsub on watching movie. i read about your instructions, i know it's easy but i tried to apply it and nothing happened. maybe what i'm doing is wrong, sorry. that's why i'm asking for help.
could you explain more on putting subtitle files and movie files into identical folders... because what i did is i make a new folder and under that folder i made ( for ex. the title of the movie is goong) movie folder and subtitle folder. under that movie folder i put goong.rmvb. i copied that one on subtitle folder and rename it as goong.sub. is it right? please help. should i put goong.sub and goong.idx at the same time. i mean under subtitle, i just copied goong.sub and rename it as gong.idx. meaning on subtitle folder there are two: goong.sub and goong.idx.

Welcome your visit. About your problem:
1. Put all files(goong.rmvb, goong.idx and goong.sub) into identical folder
2. Play the goong.rmvb, the subtitle will be shown.
3. If the subtitle still cannot be shown, please check the all files and vobsub software etc. It is better to change other video and subtitle to try again
-------------------------------------------
For the sake of your convenience, enclosed a RAR file for you. Please unzip it, it has two folder, 001 is SUB+IDX style subtitle; 002 is SRT style subtitle. Play that test.wmv in any folder, you should look the subtitle is shown. If the subtitle still cannot be shown, so please check your vobsub software, PC and other |

A new explanation (April 2009) |
| We hope to recommend a Korean player KMPlayer 2.9.3.143 edition for you. It seems able to make the subtitle are shown in anytime and anywhere.It is a green software, just unzip is OK.You can click here to download it from our web site (13.7M). Moreover two suites test file are provided here, they are WMV-SRT and WMV-IDX/SUB file, you can click here to download it (only 275K) for your subtitle's test. You can open any WMV file to use the KMPlayer, the subtitle (English and Chinese) should be shown. If it cannot be shown, so you have to check your PC whether there are too much player? Cancel some players and only remain 1-2 players, perhaps your problem will be resolved. |
