Make a Backup of your srt-file.
Open srt-file with notepad.
Choose 'SAVE AS' - it shows the dialog where(at the bottom) 'ANSI' 'UNICODE' or 'UTF-8' might be shown.
That's the coding now. Choose UTF-8 and save.
Check for the right suffix. Do not use caps.

I have been using Verbatim+R (for storing data the advanced failure-correction is vital) for years now. The failure-rate is under 0,5%. The oldest archieved DVDs are 5 years old without any dropouts. My DVD-writers last about 1000 discs. (10 months). A 500GB-HDD is 465GB in reality - cost 87,5$. 110...

...but wondering why the player displays array of squares instead of Japanese characters as written in the sub file. Somehow I found the fix for it. Perhaps you already noticed the default VLC subtitle font is Arial. You may not know that this font does not support Unicode character such as Japanes...

MPC/VOBSUB sometimes do not show subs if it is coded in UTF-8. After saving as ANSI-coded (notepad will do the trick), the subs play just fine. Same goes for UNICODE-coded. It appears that VOBSUB does not work with UTF-8, but ANSI and UNICODE. Don't forget to make a backup of your srt-file before ch...

Looks like here is a major problem. Your movie-file should be an *.avi and your subtitle-file a *.srt. Do not install more codecs, that is no good. Follow the instructions and it should work. *** I recommend the VLC-Player. Because it is easy to use - not only for Beginners - and you don't need to d...

If you downloaded *.srt-subtitles and they show up in Japanese - you downloaded them in Japanese. Download the English ones.

jocutus

Open in notepad and re-save as ANSI or UNICODE. Be sure to have a backup of your original file.

There is no need installing any codec while using VLC. I have seen similar popups with onboard-graphics. You could try in: settings/video/output switching to 'Windows GDI...' (advanced options have to be activated). The video runs fine with me.( though I downloaded it about a year ago) You might fin...

You might have installed too much. Start reading here:

You possibly have to uninstall some codecs - or all - and start anew with a selected choice.

A simple way to view videos and softsubs is to use the VLC-Player.

http://www.fontfox.com/font-viewer.php?font=BitstreamCyberCJK I downloaded a special font (see link). It should be added to the system and then chosen in VLC.

@knuts: If your desired subtitle-file is in ANSI and a different codepage, you might encounter those troubles. I never tried this, but you could: Try opening the srt-file ONLINE with notepad. If the letters are okay, you can 'save as' . If you cannot read the letters, the subtitle-file isalready dam...

Be sure to copy and paste the name for the subtitle-file to rename it exactly. You might be troubled by a very small difference.

jocutus

It's likely.

Have you checked your *.srt-file? Some brains rename .ssa or .ass files and even .sub-files to srt. You can use notepad for this.

Another point for VLC. Good choice.

Organizing your drives and a simple spread-sheet. That does the trick.

Hit ctrl-s for preferences.
Choose VIDEO, choose SUBTITLES/OSD, choose TEXTRENDERER.
Change SIZE-Setting from 'normal' to 'big'.

I can watch 14 hours of Japanese drama without a break. Can thisget me an otaku-job? Does it pay well?

Since you didn't mention Fantasy Couple - you didn't watch it?
Sometimes it's nice to have another topic like this. You eventually stumble at something new. As I did. So there was really something like "Secret"... too bad they are not seeded.

2 clicks and you only see them. 2 more clicks and they aren't shown at all.
If a torrent dies, it dies. Here and there. No difference.

Well,from time to time there were some files that I couldn't play with VLC. So I tried other players. But they are all gone: if VLC does not play it, no one else does.
