Can't load subtitles

[mircea2712]

Could somebody help me please? I can't load *.sub subtitles. Thanks!

What video player do you use? Is that sub file correct?

[mircea2712]

I tried KMPlayer, MPlayer and Xine. File should be correct because I have downloaded it from a torrents site. I saw people comments. There is no any comment about bad file.

Have you tried KPlayer? It has File - Load Subtitles option.

[mircea2712]

No, I haven't. But all players I told you have "load subtitles" function.

[mircea2712]

Well, I installed KPlayer but it did not help me. I still can not load subtitles.

Hi, mircea,
since you are Romanian, maybe the problem is rather with the subtitle encoding.
I had similar troubles. Possibly the subtitles are there and loaded, but you cannot see them because of wrong encoding. Try these settings in Mplayer:
1. Preparing the Mplayer:
Since there aren't as plain settings as with BSPlayer I had to modify the Preferences:
Video tab:
Video X11/xv (or what else your system supports. I have Nvidia Vanta 16MB)
Enable double buffering
Subtitle tab:
Encoding : iso8859-2 (or your region, I dont know where is the Romanian belonging)
Font:
No autoscale
Encoding: Unicode
Blur: 0.00
Outline : 6
Text scale: 25 (or more)
On such a way your subtitle shall be readable.

Hi and thank you for this idea! Will try and let you know.

[mircea2712]

I did like you said. Unfortunately I didn't help me.

Please post the output of

mplayer -v -sub mircea2712.sub mircea2712.avi

replacing your nick with the actual subtitle and movie file names of course.
