The VideoLAN Forums

Hi there !
My problem is this : each time i run a video and want to open correponding subtitles, vlc opens the search box on the system32 folder.
It gets very annoying. i have searched for an answer but not found much.
I have tried a lot of things in the parameters but still no success.
I'm running vlc 1.1 .11 on win 7 x64.
thanks in advance.

Why don't you just put the subtitle file next to the video file and rename it to match the name of the video?
In this case the subtitle file will be opened automatically.

e.g.
GoodFilm.avi
GoodFilm.srt

thanks but i know that, and sometimes i have to try several subtitles before getting a good one.
So i'm still looking

You can also drag&drop subtitles to VLC.
