Fix subtitles not working in Windows 7 Media Player 12

by Mayur on September 30, 2009

in Windows 7

While playing movies in Windows 7 Windows Media Player 12, I noticed that subtitles were not working in it though they were showing fine in VLC player.

Show Subtitle in Windows 7 media player

I’ve found a simple way to fix this issue without modifying any Windows file. Just download and install DirectVobSub (VSFilter) to display subtitle. Using it, you can also set the text size, color and placement displayed while playing movies.

Download DirectVobSub (393 KB)

Note: A correct subtitle (SRT) file must be there in movie folder to show its subtitle. You can download subtitle for Internet movies @ subscene.com

In case this doesn’t work, go here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=205650&package_id=246121&release_id=541232

Place the DLL in the Plugins folder of your Windows Media Player directory in C:\Program Files\

Vobsub / VSFILTER Alternative – Another way is Local Subtitles for WMP :

Subtitles Plugin for Windows Media Player allows you to play movies with subtitles in Windows 7 Media Player 12. This is a background plug-in for Windows Media Player. Its sole purpose is enabling textual subtitles, that accompany media files in formats not supported directly by Microsoft.

In my case, it was caused by using the 32-bits version of wmp. When I started to use the 64-bits version, it was working!

Microsoft is completely retarded these kind of things don’t work out of the box.

Been trying anything to use Media Center with subtitles.

Microsoft, retards.
