    How to Turn DVD Subtitles On or Off in Windows Media Center


       Information
    Unlike closed captions, subtitles are a more general term used to describe the spoken audio in a movie. Subtitles are often displayed in a different language than the audio. If you're watching a DVD that includes subtitle options, you can turn them on in Media Center.

    By default, subtitles appear automatically in Media Center when the audio is muted. This will show you how to turn DVD subtitles on or off in Windows Media Center.

       Note
    Windows Media Center is not available in the Windows 7 Starter and Windows 7 Home Basic editions.

    The N and KN editions of Windows 7 have all the features that normally come with each individual Windows 7 edition, except for Windows Media Player 12 and related programs, such as Windows Media Center or Windows DVD Maker.

    The N editions of Windows 7 allow you to choose your own media player and software required to manage and play CDs, DVDs, and other digital media files. If you choose to use Windows Media Player 12, downloading it, along with related software, is free.


    Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise will not have Add features to Windows 8/8.1 available since there are not any features available to add in that edition.

    Windows Media Center is available as an economical “media pack” add-on to your installed and activated Windows 8/8.1 Pro.

    If you have Windows 8 Pro installed, then you can add Windows Media Center by buying the Windows 8 Media Center Pack.

    If you have Windows 8.1 Pro installed, then you can add Windows Media Center by buying the Windows 8.1 Media Center Pack.

    If you have Windows 8 installed, then you will need to buy the Windows 8 Pro Pack to have Media Center added and all the features of Windows 8 Pro.

    If you have Windows 8.1 installed, then you will need to buy the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack to have Media Center added and all the features of Windows 8.1 Pro.

    Hey thanks! Just to point out this also works for everything added in "movies". If you have a movie folder with a subtitle file, this setting will also display the subs for movies on your hard drive! Sadly enough "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Brink again"... Oh well... I WILL remember to give you your rep though! :)
