SOLVED (more or less) - No embedded subtitles.....
Gray_Area:
I've known about VLC for ages, but always thought it was not for the average user. I haven't checked it out in a couple years, probly. I've never liked Real Player, or any of the others. WMP 9 through 11 have always had everything I wanted and needed (except when they took out the water visualization in 11....).
@Howard: it's funny you the CCCP codec set, as I happened across it the other night in the vein of this thread. I didn't try it, though. Also, I haven't liked MP classic, but I'll check out, and report back. Thanks.
Howard_Casto:
I don't particularly like mp classic either. It's just the best functioning player out there in terms of exotic files.
I only use it because it can handle all of my files without issue and if on the rare occasion there is an issue, everything is exposed right down to the shaders, so I can fix it.
The interface is ugly though and the default navigation is a little odd (Click to pause annoys the hell out of me, expecially considering you double click to toggle fullscreen).
It is pretty great for cabs/home cinema though... you can launch any file via the command line, customize the navigation controls and have it cleanly exit when the file is done. Very few media players that are actually any good can do that.

I use .srt exclusively. With .sub you get a lot of color and size options in the code but lose functionality across certain platforms whilst everything reads .srt format subs. Try videolan and see if you're getting the same behavior and if so trash your sub file and DL a different format from subscene.

Ditto here but where do you pull your srt files from? Half the time I have to spend a lot of time shifting the srt file to synch with the audio que's assuming there isn't that damn "doppler" shift where the audio eventually goes out of sych with the caps and all that work was for naught.

I'm totally with you, plus anything ripped Maxspeed or a few others always have really annoying recognition failures like lower case L for i or something. Over the last several years I've gotten really adept at using time adjuster and similar programs to re-synch the subs as needed. Some movies that my wife really wanted to see but we couldn't get a OC'd version in the theatre I've pulled foreign market subs and translated them by hand back into engrish. I will usually queue up 10 or so movies and then spend a saturday morning going over sub files to get everything watchable. It's not ideal but that's the shakes. I get most everything from subscene.com but will occasionally just google for something obscure. I'm currently translating the subs for 10th Kingdom from Dutch to English. That's 10 hours of movie though and I'm only .5 hours in so that one will be while. The discs you can purchase don't have CC :angry: :angry: can't describe my frustration.
SavannahLion:
Especially if the DVD is clearly marked on the box for subs or CC.
Have you jumped on the HDTV cable box broadcast bandwagon yet? Did you notice the entire CC carrier signal was dropped on anything other than composite/cable? That makes long term recording and storage of HDTV broadcasts a massive challenge. I had to create the SRT file by hand, took me the better part of my Saturday just for a 1/2 hour broadcast.
