SUBTITLES problems (1 Viewer)

[Pawwlik]

Hello,
I would like to split possible situations into three cases to better understand the problem:

1) Normal avi or mkv file with external subtitle file

MPC-HC engine : OK - can be switched on-off with yellow remote button
DirectVobSub engine : OK - can be switched on-off with yellow remote button

2) MKV file with subtitles inside (as a mkv track)

MPC-HC engine : OK - can be switched on-off with yellow remote button
DirectVobSub : ERROR - the subtitles cannot be switched off. This is a serious problem if we have multi language file with subtitles.

It seems, that at this point MPC-HC is a clear winner, but:

3) MKV file with another pixel ratio than 1:1 (for example 720x576 MKV file displaying as 16:9) with external subtitle file

MPC-HC engine : ERROR - the displayed aspect ratio is 720x576, not 16:9. This is a serious problem and the file cannot be watched without brain damage (Yes you can select another aspect ratio, but this is VERY annoying)
DirectVobSub : OK

You can see - there's currently no subtitle engine handling correctly all the cases. If you know any setting to fix the behavior for DirectVobSub (in case 2, I would prefer this option, directvobsub has more options to fix position etc.) or MPC-HC to fix the correct AR (in case 3) please answer.

Hi,

I have problems with playing MKV files with included subs as well.
These MKV files will MP crash.
Playing MKV files with external SRT files = OK.

This problem is only in MP 1.1.0 RC1 (released today)

In older versions of MP is this not a problem. Playing MKV files with embedded subs or external subs are playing well.
FFDshow codes are used for playing MKV files. Tried other codecs, doesn't help.

Does anyone now how to solve this issue?
