[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 293200, member: 11220"] What are the best options for subtitles? Am I right in thinking that the only way to have subtitles in an AVI container is to burn them into the video stream? MKV allows seperate subtitle streams but then this leaves the question of idx/sub or srt subtitles. It appeared the best option was to encode with X264 into an MKV container as this gave me chapters, AC3 audio, decent video compression and then add in an idx/sub subtitle stream so that you don't come across any issues with the OCR in srt subtitles. First problem is I can't get subtitles to display in MP (They work in Zoomplayer). The subtitles section in the movie config has font setting, does this mean that MP only accepts srt subtitles? Second (bigger) problem is lack of DXVA when subtitles are there (read lots of threads about this). So question is what is the best solution if I want subtitles? I am guessing that encoding with XVid and buring subtitles in to video steam would work and give relatively low CPU usage but is not ideal. Would encoding the video as Xvid and adding in an idx/sub subtitle stream into an MKV container actually work in MP?? [/QUOTE]
