Hello.

I noticed VideoLAN Media Client media player v1.x and v2.0, and other players can play with subtitles/closed captionings (CCs) directly from .MPEG-2 and .TS video files. How can I do the same in the latest MPC-HC (e.g., v1.6.1.4081)? I do not want have to extract these texts into a file (e.g., SRT) to get them. I just want MPC-HC to play directly from these video files.

Thank you in advance. :)

Files with CCs? Haven't seen any in the wild so far. Do you have links?

Each .7z file is about 6 MB compressed.

You can't it's currently a VLC exclusive same as Teletext (yep you can record the teletext (videotext) stream and browse through it) and Teletext subtitles support in .ts ;)
