[QUOTE="HappyTalk, post: 75404, member: 22671"] I had problems getting this to work. Others have hinted at how to get it working but lacking in clarity (IMHO). Here's how I got it working You will need to install haali matroska splitter [url]http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/[/url] AND THEN run haali media splitter settings (which will be on start menu after the haali install) and set 'Options|Compatability|Autoload VS filter = yes'. IMPORTANT You MUST do that or MP WILL NOT even open Matroska files containing subtitles. You will also need to install VobSubFilter to see the subs from here [url]http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DirectVobSub.htm[/url] I found I DID NOT need to install CoreAVC (which costs $10) But I have only tried mkv's containing a single sub (and single audio and video) But I am presuming it is the vobsub setting required for Haali that was the problem. One Bug in MP though is that the subs radio button defaults to on regardless of the setting in config, and it does not send this setting to the Vobsub filter when movie starts anyway. You can set the default value using radlight filter manager on 'DirectShow|DirectVobSub|misc|hide subtitles'. Also reassign # on remote from aspect ratio (available via menu anyway) back to subtitle as it should be in mp-config|remote|mapping makes this easier. For editing Matroska files this program seems to be the Neo [url]http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/[/url] . You can easily merge avi's and subs into a matroska file so as MP works properly with subs. It doesn't re-encode anything as mkv is just a container format so it only takes a few mins to accomplish.
