How to read subtitles in Windows Media Center?

Hello! I bought a CD of movie and downloaded subtitles ".srt" for this movie. These subtitles ".srt" run in VLC media player by keeping just the video and the '.srt' in the same folder and two identical file names. But when I play the movie in Windows Media Center, the subtitles do not appear. How do I make them work?

Hey Mary!
I'm sorry but I don't have the subtitles that are already there in the DVD. As I said, there are no subtitles in the DVD. There was just a .avi file. In VLC Media Player (that I currently use as my primary movie player), simply paste. SRT file in the same folder and check the file of the same name. VLC media player automatically detects and manages the subtitles with video. This technique works for all video formats that work with VLC Media player, includin, .mp4, .m4v, .mkv, .wmv, .avi, etc..

Is that we can run these subtitles .srt (sometimes .sub) with Windows Media Center?

You can, but you must tell the codec to load the subtitles.  I am assuming that you are using ffdshow, in video settings, there is a setting to enable and disable the subtitles, it is a function of the video decoder not the player, VLC comes just at a time.

  • Why not subtitles in Windows Media Center? __

    I see no subtitles in Windows media center.  I have the .srt and .avi, the same files in the same folder.  I use win 7 64-bit ultimate.

    I searched and read about hacks registry, codecs and other things that I do not understand.  I read on the codec bibles that have me laying the boards of 7 or 8 of the software.  I have downloaded the CCCP codec pack and uninstalled then after he has not helped (there was a long list of settings that I didn't get in this one).

    Microsoft has impossible subtitles for non geeks?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I had read your answer before.  I don't seem to know how to take ownership of these files.  Access is denied, tried to change the permissions and access has been denied.  I don't know what to rename the files, even if I was allowed to rename them.  Could you be a little more detailed and accurate?

    I repeat-Microsoft did make the impossible subtitles for the non-geeks ?

    Perform the following steps with each of the six files listed before:

    1. Right-click on the file
    2. Select "Properties".
    3. Select the security"" tab.
    4. Click on "Edit"... »
    5. Click on "Add..." »
    6. Enter your user name, and then click OK
    7. Select your username from the list
    8. Check the 'Total control' / 'allow '.
    9. Click on 'OK '.

    Now you should be able to rename the file.

    If the procedure seems too complicated for you, you can download and install thislittle tool . It will add that 'Ownership' in the context menu of files, so all you have to do is click right button of mouse on the file and select 'ownership '.

    Good luck.

    How can I reinstall the Windows Media Center Gadget on my PC with Windows 7, 64-bit?  I had left it one day and now I don't know where he is. I went into the control panel and tried to 'Restore the Gadget', but he said it was not something to restore. I don't know how to get the file from one account to another, if that's what I'm supposed to do. I just want to know how to get the original back that came when I downloaded Media Center for the first time (that I tried to do it again. "But it did not help at all).

  • How do you play dubbed audio or subtitles in Windows Media Center Extender (Xbox 360)?

    I know how to turn subtitles on my Windows Media Center PC, but there is no option to select audio dubbed or subtitled when you use Windows Media Center Extender. All my video files contain subtitles and audio dubbed foreign films.  My wife loves Spanish subtitles, because she has trouble understanding some English films.  I searched some forums and there are questions there but they have no definitive answers.  How a company billions of dollars developing a Media Center and leave out or miss crucial features like these? Please do not react with the thread on how to activate subtitles in TV Mode. Which does not apply to this question. The key word is EXTENDERS.

    Hi AnthonyWilson5

    Subtitles should be coded in the movie view. These subtitles are automatically playing with video files. If the subtitles are a separate .srt file, then you will not be able to visualize everything by watching a video on the 360. There is no real turn option ON or OFF for subtitle in the Xbox 360.

    But for more information you can even try to contact the expert Microsoft Xbox 360 team. Please visit the links below to find a community that will support what ask you in the right direction for Xbox 360.

    My Windows Media center to disappear from my computer I already looked everywhere in all programs and windows and nothing features on or off. my computer came with this program, but suddenly its gone I have not now how to get it back. I know that I have not uninstalled it.

    Hi Oscarlo2,

    Same thing happened to me. It could be as simple as another media player, be affected as your default player. My OS is Windows Vista, so I had to go through the following steps:
    Control Panel > programs > by default of the programs > set your default programs
    Windows Media Center should always be which are listed there. Once you is like Media Player by default, it should appear immediately.
    I know that this has been posted a year ago, but if still you have your Media Center, I hope this helps.

  • Windows 7. How can I remove the Windows media Center programs recommended in the "Open with" section?

    I select which application (Word, Excel, etc.), they all open with Windows Media Center. This happened recently and I don't know how to cancel it. I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to "choose the program you want to use to open this file. How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group?

    "I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to"choose the program you want to use to open this file"." How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? »

    A pretty easy regedit should remove an application from the section "recommended programs". Here is a procedure step by step on how to do it. Unfortunately, I don't think that will solve your problem. What seems actually to have occurred is either your .lnk .exe (or maybe both) have inadvertently been associated with WMC. Out of the list of the programs recommended for the open with dialog box will not change. In fact, the next time that you open the program, it will open in WMC and add automatically return a program recommended in the open with dialog box.

    There really should not be whatever it is that you open a .lnk or .exe with because you really don't want to open them... you want to run. To determine if the .lnk or .exe associated with wrong, you can either watch the extension file associations in the control panel > programs, or you can see if it's a shortcut or the actual executable file that does. Need to know who, or if she is at the same time, in order to complete the fix.

    Once you know it, this link will show you how to restore the default file type link. Matter of fact, now that I think of it, it wouldn't hurt to just restore default settings for .lnk and .exe.

    "I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group? " I may be wrong, but I do not believe, you should really see anything in the open with dialog for a .lnk or .exe. Again, you don't want to really not open them... you want to run. The shortcut .lnk file goes to the executable and runs the .exe program.

  • How can I burn a DVD in Windows Media Center with the closed captioning information included?

    I recorded a program in Windows media center.  When I read the program, it displays the closed captioning information.  If I burn a DVD program closed captioning information do not display during playback.  How can I burn the DVD to include captioning?

    Hello
     
     
    1. How do you try to burn the DVD? You have saved the DVD on the desktop (hard drive) or you burnt before you save it to a DVD?
    2. after are burning the DVDs in which application you trying to play?

    I suspect that the captions are already burned in DVD, at this point in time we can cross check if the option is set to display captions.
    To enable or disable subtitles for DVD
    a. on the Windows Media Center start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click DVD and then click subtitle.
    b. click the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to select power off or when cut, and then click Save.
