VLC 1.0.5 Goldeneye and Sub-Titles

Postby Zeeman28a » 14 Mar 2010 05:39

Sub-titles only play when closed captioning is turned on.

Playing a DVD in my computer, Star Wars, and the scene with Han and Greedo does not display the sub-titles when Greedo talks. Same goes for Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan scene with Spock and Saavik in the torpedo room. It's the same for Crouching Tiger and Hero DVD's. Subs don't play.

How do I get the subtitles to appear only for those parts of the movie?

Works fine in my DVD player. Works fine using WinDVD on my laptop. But using VLC Player on my Win 7 desktop, no sub-titles.

If I turn captioning on, subtitles work for everything.

Thanks.
Stan.

I assume you mean forced subtitles.

Should have mentioned these are all Region 1 DVD's and English by default.

And I figured everyone has seen Star Wars and knows what scene I'm talking about. Even the scene with Jabba the Hut and Han Solo. Jabba's lines should be subtitled as he speaks whatever language he speaks.

I read that ticket but have no idea what they are talking about. What are forced subtitles? And from the looks of it, VLC does not support forced subtitles as of yet.

Forced subtitles are something that should be shown all the times. Even if one chooses no subtitles option.

No argument from me. But it doesn't work. But it does work in WMP so will use that to play my DVD's. :wink:
