[QUOTE="jabalsad, post: 486725, member: 24642"] I tried VobSub but it didn't work. Installing DirectVobSub registers it (vsfilter.dll) automatically and then I just have to add to MPC-HC's config. Then it works. The files I am playing back have embedded subs. Thanks, this is a handy tip! If I uninstall DirectVobSub and select the "Subtitles" option in FFDShow's Video config then I have exactly the same subtitles. I like reducing the amount of codecs to a bare minimum. But now what bothers me is, since I am using FFDShow in Media Portal for H.264 decoding, I should be seeing the subs in Media Portal, but I don't! Grrr. In my opinion this is part of where the problem lies. I have no idea what kind of subs they are. They are embedded in the MKV files (Anime) and they look pretty :) Thanks I'll give it a try. Note: Does the fact that I'm running Windows 7 make any difference? :/ EDIT: Okay I solved the problem. [B]Occam's razor[/B]. I never saw the "Subtitle / Audio" tab under Video config where you have to explicitly select "Show subtitles" otherwise MP blocks it somehow. Haha! Thanks for the help though!
