So far it's not finding your files, try to add the full paths to both files on the command line so it can find them. Post what you get.

apsel You know, I asked a friend to open this file in Notpad, Windows and he couldn't. I tried to open it too with a text redactor and couldn't. Maybe should I send you a copy by e-mail and you will try to open it? If you don't wnat, let me know and I will post the requested output.

Well, I'm not using Mandriva, but I have a LiveCD version of it. I tried to watch a movie on the Live system and with Kaffeine It just worked fine. I also used subtitles. Isn't possibile that you're using not proper packages? How did you installed Mplayer? Are they for Mandriva? Where there any error messages during installation ? Did it ever work ( in that case you have installed something that broke some dependencies) ?

[mircea2712]

Well there were no errors when we installed Mandriva and MPlayer. By the way, I had used MPlayer to watch some movies with subtitles too (.srt format) and I did not have any troubles. I have troubles only loading .sub format subtitles.

Try to use Subtitle Workshop to convert easily .sub into .srt files if you can't do anything. It's a freeware Windows application running fine with Wine. By the way, in Mplayer's Preferences you have options in Subtitle&OSD tab : 'Convert the given subtitle to the time based SubViewer format (.srt)' and 'Convert the given subtitle to MPlayer's subtitle format'. Have you tried them ?

[mircea2712]

It seems the file format is wrong or file is wrong. I can't open that file with SubtitlesWorkshop.

[minthaka]

Have you tried another subtitle file, it doesn't matter of wich movie? For I think you are probably right about that subtitle. But I can check it if you send me your subtitle file attached to a private message!

[mircea2712]

How can I attach a file to a private message?
