MKV in MPC = No Subtitles

[H3avyM3tal]

Hey.

Well, I've been trying to get subs to work in MPC, but with MKV files its a no go. I've tried vista codec pack and I'm now with CCCP. And I still can't get subs to show. And the annoying thing is that they show on my laptop (with win xp pro).

I'm on win7 rc now, but it simply won't show subtitles. Help?

Just download directVobSub and your problems should go away. ;) Remember that the subtitles' name must match that of the movie.

That didn't work! What am I doing wrong? Subs show that they are on, but they still don't show up. They are soft coded in the mkv file...

Edit:
I installed FFDShow and all is well!

Thanks for trying to help :)

I had this issue also... let me remember how I fixed it, lol.

Try downloading the codec direct from the source...

BTW, I recently started using WMP11 for most of my watching... its become alot better then MPC.

External/Soft subs can't be rendered in DXVA mode (Only hardcoded), go to options internal filters uncheck H264/AVC DXVA , then it will be playd without DXVA but with subs.

This is assuming your using MPC HomeCinema

For Vista/W7 playback -> Output ( should be set at EVR (Vista/.Net3) for best results.
