Disabling DirectVobsub

[Psymaster]

I have this problem with a movie I encoded a while ago. I ripped the subtitles as always, and put them with the movie in the same folder. I did sth with vobsub and now every time I play that movie, I always see the subtitles without enabling them in the player. And I know that they aren't burnt in, because if I open the movie in Virtualdub, they don't show up. Now, that's ok with me, but how can I make the same with every movie, or disable it for some movies?

Hi-

If it's a movie where you usually don't play those subs, you can change the name slightly, and they won't show up. But a better solution perhaps, is to right click the green arrow in the lower right of the desktop and hit Hide Subtitles.

yes, but how was it associated in the first place and why does it auto-load? i want to do it with the rest of my movies.

Hi-

...why does it auto-load?

Because it's the auto-loading version. :) Maybe this from the dvobsub.txt will help:

Q: My subtitle files are burnt on the CD, but I'd like to watch without them.

A:
- Select "Hide Subtitles" under mediaplayer 6.x's "Language" submenu.
- Access the filter's property page and check "Hide subtitles".
- regsvr32 /u DVobSub.ax.
