Hi,

Wondering if anyone can help. I have some movies in xvid (avi) which play perfectly through VLC.

Some of the movies have subtitles, but for the life of me I cannot find a way to activate them. The 'subtitles' menu is greyed out and I have played around with the preferences (different subtitles text encoding), but nothing seems to invoke them.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

The subtitles file(s) have to have the same name as the movie (except the extension of course), and be in the same folder

Thanks dude...

So the subtitles are contained in a different file? I would have thought they would be somehow embedded in the xvid file...

Nope, the subtitles are usually in a .srt file of the same name.
