[QUOTE="Topher5000, post: 338529, member: 19543"] My HTPC is an X2 3800+ with 1gb of RAM (maybe 2, I can't remember) & an Asus EN8600GT Silent video card. Running MP 0.2.3.0, it's able play anything, from avi's with external subs (an idx file & a rar file with .sub subs, or .srt subs) to 1080p mkv's with embedded subs. I'm able to cycle through the subs, including the ones embedded in mkv's, with the yellow remote button. Is this is because 0.2.3.0 uses video overlay? I'd like to upgrade to MP 1.0 RC4, mainly because of the cool skins, but after keeping track of this thread, it looks like I'd either have to choose between subs & being able to watch HD movies. Is this correct? Some movies, like Syrianna, have to have subs & my HTPC isn't powerful enough to play 1080p movies without hardware acceleration. From a couple of pages back, it looks like both would be possible if MP read the subs from "null renderer", whatever that is (I know nothing about coding). Perhaps I'll wait for MP 1.0 & see what happens with that. [/QUOTE]
