Hello.

I got a Japanese Anime in *.avi format (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind – Warriors of The Wind) & it also came with an *.idx & a *.sub file, which I presume must be the English subtitles.

They have the following file names:

Warriors of the Wind 1984.avi
Warriors of the Wind 1984.idx
Warriors of the Wind 1984.sub

I played the *.avi file in WinXp Media Player 10 but I couldn’t get the subtitles working.
How can I enable the subtitles in WinXP Media Player 10 or what other media program will I need that supports these file types?

Thanks in advance.

If you install DirectVobSub, included with the VobSub package, they'll play back.

Thanks a lot!

I tried Vobsub with WinXP Media Player 10 & it worked fine.

It was also suggested by others to try VLC or Media Player Classic...

Apparently they're supposed to be the two best PC based media players at the moment.
