When playing movies in MP, like Dix/xvid etc., where does MP search for subs. (which folder), and what type of subs does it recognice?

Is there a way to pre-define sub folder(s)?

Like:
...\subs\
..\ <-same folder as movie
C:\subs\ ....etc

Anybody who can tell me how to set-up FFDShow for subs (hot to choose sub-folder - not "static" ie. [movie folder]\subs --- not like C:\subs]


Sorry about the poor explanation.... hope you understand anyway.

 

[Efros]

I believe the default is in the same folder as the movie with the same filename with the exception of the extension...of course!

 

[NorthernJohn]

Yep. That's right.

In my movies folder I've got

La Haine.avi
La Haine.srt

Subtitles then show no probs.

 

[Spragleknas]

Hm... what kind of sub-files are supported by FFDShow (idx, srt. sub)?

 

[bambiz]

Subs

Try to install "vobsub".

Select language.

How do I select a sub from a *.sub file in a specific language? Because there is no OSD in MP I cannot select anything. Or am I totally oblivious to something here?

In other words: I have a divx, with a sub+idx. In this sub there are 4 subtracks. I want the 3d to play.

Have to have EXACT same neame as the movie-file (... but different extensio, off couse) - and in same folder.
