Hi there, I'm having problem playing the subtitle file on my philips dvd player, I already updated the firmware, and I tried burn it with different subtitle format (srt, sub), but still can't get it to display. The subtitle display fine on my computer though. appreciate for any response!
.srt files do work if you go to the menu and then navigate to the subtitle file and press the subtitle button on the remote, and then go to the movie file and play it. .sub files remain a mystery to me. some people claim to have seen these work, sort of like some people claim to see Elvis. When I have a disk with a .sub .idx file, the movie appears in the menu, and some other file appears as well but it shows mpeg2 as it's icon and using the subtitle causes the 'hand' to appear... talk to the hand!!! this is really too bad because .sub seems to quickly becoming the standard.
detroit0: Yes, the vobsubs (.idx & .sub) are not text based, that's why. Most people prefer text based subs like .srt due to their smaller size. Vobsubs tend to be much larger in size, but i find the font looks nicer in most players.
