VLC Won't Play *.idx/*.sub Subtitles

[MrGadget]

I ripped a DVD to *.mkv with DVDFab and it created the subtitle *.idx and *.sub files. They display in MPC, but not in VLC. I snagged an *.srt file and it plays fine, but I would rather be able to use the subtitles ripped from the *.vob files if I can to save the effort of looking for a good clean *.srt file.

I go to the subtitles choice under Video and choose to open the file - it takes me to the proper folder (this particular DVD is titled Rust, so nothing fancy in the naming conventions). I choose the Rust.idx file (the Rust.sub file is there too) and nothing happens. I look under Tools -> Codec information and only the video and audio streams are listed.

I have Vobsub installed. I have tried different W7 systems, both 32bit and 64 bit.

I see this is a fairly common topic, but after a couple of days of searching I have not found a thread that took the poster to a resolution I could use. I would suspect the subtitle files created by DVDFAb, but again, the subtitles work in MPC.

TIA for any assistance with this that brings me to a successful resolution using VLC with *.idx/*.sub subtitle files.

Open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the full resulting log here.

Two more data points. I re-ripped the DVD with DVDFab to MKV and chose to burn the subtitles in to the movie and that worked, but of course the subtitles are always on with no way to turn them off as by design. And I also took the original MKV output container and remuxed it with MKVMerge adding the idx/sub subtitle stream and they are now included in the new MKV container and selectable. But I would prefer to just be able to select them on/off as idx/sub files without remuxing the files.

Thanks for the assistance!

[Lotesdelere]

Could you please upload a short sample of the video (cut it with MKVtoolnix) and the two subtitles files on Multiupload.com ?

[MrGadget]

I could not figure out how to do that with MKVToolnix (at least not quickly), so I used a different utility that added a watermark - hopefully that does not matter.

Thanks!

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Ok, I have a fix.

[MrGadget]

Excellent news! Do I need to look somewhere else for the fix you reference?

Merci Beaucoup!

Master development branch

[quickfold]

I had posted a similar question here viewtopic.php?f=14&t=84150 back in November, but no one replied.

I looked for the 'master development branch' on the website but couldn't find it.

I'm using Windows, will I be able to use this fix without compiling?

I'm a bit desperate, thanks for the info. I really hope this fixes the problem.

Nightly Build of VLC

[quickfold]

I can confirm that 1.1.8 does open subtitles correctly that 1.1.7 would not. THANK YOU!

[onlymac]

It won't work on a mac either macbook pro 1.83 os 10.6.7 vlc 1.1.8 or nightly 1.1.9-git
someone knows how to make it work on a mac?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

please share the logs.
