    I've managed to get subtitles functional in 7077 x64, however it did require a LOT of reg hacking. Main complaint was that before WMC did not like .mkv/mp4 subs (I watch a lot of anime). Videos now render via ffdshow x64 (from tryouts svn), tested on graphedit. Other 'fixes' listed caused audio issues for me. Anyway, here's the changes I made via regedit after installing ffdshow:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{04FE9017-F873-410E-871E-AB91661A4EF7}\InprocServer32]
    *modified to use x64 ffdshow path (ffdshow.ax, can just search for it)
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectShow\Preferred]
    *changed all filters using CLSID of Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder to CLSID of ffdshow. Had to take ownership/set to administrators of this key.

    Reboot, enjoy.
    Please export the keys unmodified in case you want to roll back to default.
    Let me know if this does/doesn't work for you, I'd like to integrate a more permanent solution.

    Subtitles in x64 Media Center are no longer an issue.

    I have released v1.1.5 of the Win7x64 Components which includes a stable release of DirectVobSub. This subtitle render is not enabled by default in this release because I am awaiting feedback from users about its performance.

    Once you have installed v1.1.5 open the settings application using a rightclick and choose Run as Administrator, then on the config TAB, in the lower right, you can enable this renderer.

    Please notice that I am not a regular reader here and if you have issues with any type of playback please take the issue to my forum. http://shark007.net/forum
