[QUOTE="HappyTalk, post: 75372, member: 22671"] I'm also a bit confused about how sub files are supposed to work in MP. For an avi file with same named sub + idx they seem to appear no matter what setting I have in mp-config|movies|subtitles. I notice that during playback the subtitle dialog from the main menu appears blank when using sub files. With DVD's or .mkv's you can use the menu subtitle dialog properly (as well as reassigning subtitle key to # which DOES then turn them on/off). Subs do however ALWAYS default to on regardless of any settings you make in MP for mkv's (Matroska files). SOLUTION:- One thing that does work is to use this tool:- [url]http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/[/url] to merge the avi and sub(s) files into matroska format (takes about 2 mins). To play it back you will need to Install haali matroska splitter [url]http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/[/url] AND THEN run haali media splitter settings and set Options|compatability|Autoload VS filter = YES. YOU MUST do that or MP WILL NOT EVEN play back Matroska files containing subtitles.
