Windows 7: subtitle issue

Starhunter · 18 Jan 2009

hello
i was having an issue with subtitle joining WMP and WMC
i've searched the forum and found a solution
which was taking ownership of mpfmp.exe file
renaming it and so on
now i can see subtitles with WMP but not WMC as well..don't know why

so what should i do to see subtitles with WMC too?

you did rename the file and still don't see it in WMP?? God helps you

but know what i can't watch movies in any app. otherwise WMP i find it so cool
you gotta give a try

Yeah, WMP appearance is the best

but it can't reproduce any subtitles, even if it had the same name of the .avi. Sorry for my bad english :P

see..having subtitle and avi file the same name is not the issue here
you have to rename the mpfmp.exe file after taking ownership of it and only then the subtitle will show up..
try renaming the file and see what'll happen
hope it works for you

I am having the same issue with subtitles in WMC. This may be a two part issue, I cannot even get WMC to recognize FDDshow. Anyone having the same issue with FDDshow not being recognized? I am running Windows 7 Beta build 7000.

One thing to keep in mind, if you rename or delete mpfmp.exe, you will NOT be able to play wmv or wma files any more. I guess you have to weigh the need for viewing subtitles over the need to play wmv or wma files. I chose to rename instead of deleting. If you find you have to constantly go back and forth with renaming, then just create two batch files that renames it, and changes it back to the original name respectively.

I installed Shark007.net - Windows 7 Codecs and can see STs in WiMP all day long - even those embedded in .MKVs.

I still haven't figured out how to get STs in WMC, though. It'll play MKVs - just not show the STs. Nor can I change the language like I can in WiMP (I have an MKV of Hancock - default language is German, but it also has the English language in it, and in WiMP I can listen to it in English, but in WMC it always plays German.
