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.

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

Here's How:

1. Open the Start Menu, and click on All Programs and Windows Media Center to open Windows Media Center.

2. In Media Center, scroll down to Tasks and select Settings. (see screenshot below)

3. Select the DVD option. (see screenshot below)

4. Select the Subtitle option. (see screenshot below)

5. Click on the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to select either the On, Off, or On when muted (default) option, then click on Save. (see screenshots below)

6. You can now close Windows Media Center when finished if you like.

That's it,
Shawn

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!
