Hi,

Subtitles only work with DivX video files. Our video format extension is MPG? Are your subtitles in an external file? If the MPG was ripped from a DVD, PowerDVD won't detect the subtitles in the MPG if that is what you are trying to do.

For me to get it to work, I needed to install a codec and then ensure the external subtitle file is in the same folder as the video file...and it's file name (minus the extension) has the exact same name.

See the "Loading External Subtitles" section of the help for more info.

Thanks for your reply. Why won't PowerDVD detect the subtitles in the MPG when most every other media player does? That is exactly what I'm trying to do, display subtitles that are in an MPG.
