Subtitles not showing up

[blackstar]

Hi, I am unable to have subtitles load up when I play .avi files.

In the title of the .avi in the ps3 menu is says Subtitles found, but when I play the .avi file nothing shows up.

What could be causing this? I tried many different .avi files (most of them are .srt based and the are named correctly).


Thanks.


BTW, this software rocks, only reason why I bought the PS3.

Hello

I do not know what the problem is but ...
You can join the subtitles and the movie in one file. Use the following
http://www.calcitapp.com/AVIAddXSubs.php

It takes not more then 2 minutes.

"AVIAddXSubs is a simple to use, free program to incorporate subtitles (XSUB) from .srt (ANSI text, up to 8 srt) and idx/sub (containing up to 8 subtitles) quickly and easily to your avi files containing DivX/XVid video streams"

The program will incorporate the subtitles, It does not BURN them in the film.

First set up ps3mediaserver language priorities like this:

Save and restart the server.

Then go to your movie in your ps3 and make sure the name of the movie is [DVD ISO] VIDEO_TS [saving private ryan] or something like that.
When you open that folder you will see a couple of files: Title 1 [MEncoder] Title 2, Title 3,... Pick the file with the correct movie length now it should start playing the movie with english audio and nl subs. If for some reason you would like other subtitles or a different audio track go to the #--TRANSCODE--# folder and again pick the correct Title folder and there you will find different subtitle options and audio tracks.
Do not mix srt files with dvd ISO it will only screw thing up and complicate things further so before trying remove the srt files from your VIDEO_TS folder

I had the same problem. It said subtitles found but the didnt showed up while streaming a movie. What helped for me was opening the srt file in notepad. Saving it as ANSI instead of unicode and it worked fine.

I'm not much for oneliners but the 'Save as ANSI' trick did it for me as well. The movie actually started showing the subs mid movie when I re-saved the .srt
So thank you for the tip, wegkwijt.
