i guess you want to use them on xbox360?
well, you cant, unless you hardcode the subtitles on the video.

It sucks, i know.

Import the .srt Subs in your avs with vsfilter

TextSub("F:\From_hell\fh_ned.srt")

for .sub

VobSub("F:\From_hell\VTS_01_0.sub")

The dll/Plugin is a Part of the Vobsub.2.23 Package

Is there any way to play a wmv-hd file with MPC or windows media player and attach subtitles without hardcoding them to video?

I need to stretch subtitles ripped from PAL DVD from 25fps to 24 fps

Thnks

Hey there. I'm also looking for some help for adding subtitles to wmv files. Hope you don't mind me adding to this existing thread.

I have a number of WMV files that I need to add a number of subtitle tracks to (various languages) that the user can then select depending upon their needs. I'll have the .smi file (or atleast I hope I will) so I'm simply looking for advice on how to have them selectable during playback.

I'm not an expert on this topic and my research so far suggests that all one has to do is name the subtitle file the same as the WMV and place both within the same folder. Is that really all it takes?

Many thanks for any help you can give.

Yes, there is.

You have to have avisynth installed
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/AviSynth.htm
or project page
http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Main_Page

DirectVobSub/VSFilter is also recommended.
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DirectVobSub.htm

You can make a basic avisynth script using directshowsource to open the wmv. Then, if you open the avs file with Media Player, the subtitle with the same name will be displayed by DirectVobSub.

(Let's say you have MyVideo.wmv and MyVideo.srt.
Create a text file containing:

DirectShowSource("MyVideo.wmv")

Save it as MyVideo.avs
Associate avs extension with Media Player (If you get the annoying message saying "The selected file has an extension that is not recognized...blahblah..." that's fine, tick the checkbox and choose Yes.)
Open the avs file instead of the wmv.

DirectVobSub/VSFilter will be activated and will find and display your subtitle.)

Vsfilter will automatically load subtitles if you put MyVideo.wmv and MyVideo.srt in the same directory. It would be too slow to play an HD video through avs.
