I've recently downloaded a MKV file with subtitles but i can't find the srt file however when it play it with VLC player its there. My problem is that when i convert it to mp4 for my phone the subs are gone! Is there anyway to like make it reappear.
The subtitle (using mkv merge) shows S_TEXT/ASS (ID3, type: subtitles) when i put the mkv in. I tried muxing it but it still doesn't show up when i convert it.
Is there a solution?
I dont think WP7 supports subtitles yet, to tell you the truth subtitles on a mobile device would be tiny and i dont know why you would want to, but that's just me. If you really want the subtitles your going to have to hard encode them into the video which means re-encoding the whole thing again, which means diminished quality.

Did you thought about Hard-Subbing the movie?It's fast and easy.

My nexus s isn't playing back AVI videos regardless of what application I use. Is this abnormal or do I just need to get an avi codec somewhere ?
you need rockplayer

I've tried:
Rockplayer
Mvideoplayer
arcMedia
None have worked. Rockplayer began to play a file and then stopped.
Avi is just a container, you need codec support for the video file inside. Try Rockplayer.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not having an luck with Rockplayer either. As stated above when I use rockplayer to open the avi files, it plays a second or two of audio and then quits back to the file select menu. Are you sucessfully using rockplayer to play back avis ?
Yes, you can play avi's depending on what codec was used on the video file inside the avi, an avi file can have any type of video file inside of it; h264, mpg4, divx, etc...
rockplayer probably needs to be updated to work with 2.3 like allot of other software
need to port codecs from galaxy S then we could play anything...with hardware rendering
So the stock browser doesn't play M4V embedded subtitles. Booo. I'm thinking either I have to re-encode all my videos and hard sub them or switch to another player that will software decode. No other player seems to support embedded subs though. I have to put SRTs in the same directory.
mVideoPlayer has so far been the best option in order to actually change the size so the subs don't come out tiny.
So:
1. Are there any other players that so far support hardware decoding and also support subtitles? - Don't want to waste battery.
2. Are there any players that support embedded subtitles in an m4v? (not hardsubs)
3. What is the best program for hardsubbing an SRT? I usually use handbrake but it doesn't want to burn in the subs. I want control over the font and shadow too to get decent quality.

Why should I delete? These are 'on topic' questions that don't have a specific thread to discuss. I'm aware some issues are partially discussed in other threads, but not in this context and no consensus has been reached.

Sorry, the "delete" was for my post, since before my edit, I wrote about mVideoPlayer without realizing you've already tried it...
1. Vplayer
2. I tried a lot, and as far as I remember, none of them was able to find a subtitle track on a mp4 video file.
3. Handbrake. You have first to convert your srt into an ssa file, then merge with mkvmerge the ssa file to the original mkv,
and handbrake will then be able to handburn your srt file. You probably have to apply a patch (I wrote the patch, look for
decssasub.c), because handbrake was not able to handburn srt2ssa converted files.
Hope this help, it's really a pain to watch subtitles movie on a transformer, it does not play straightforward mkv files, you
have to convert them and so one.
Another solution would be to use plex media server, which is able to transcode movie, and which is avoiding the pain to
convert movie files, but unfortunately the plex android client does not support subtitles at this moment.
We're stuck to poor solutions.

Vplayer does not hardware decode. It does seem like a good player though. Managed to get handbrake to burn in using ssa instead of srt subs and bubbled to convert them. Still not great though.

Does anoyone have an answer for my problem? i have .srt files downloaded and they play like they should with mvideoplayer. But when i connect to my tv with hdmi, i see the subtitle on my tablet and not on the tv.
This really is pretty stupid. is there any player or app which can output my subtitles on my tv without me having to "burn them in"?
thats really weird they dont show up on HDMI, maybe the resolution is different?
MX VideoPlayer uses hardware decoding. There're options to choose between that and software decoding. It also has subtitle options (font, size, alignment, etc.).
I used DVDFab to get subtitles to show in a m4v flick. Had to click around with some of the subpicture options and then check it out in the preview screen to see if the subs would show; after a few tries, got the subs to only show up to translate and not during the entire film. Subs also show up in the stock player.
i found that the only way of displaying this subtitles to hdmi is to burn them in with handbrake. But handbrake does not support burn in of .srt files.
Anyone know an alternative which is simple?
mobo player, plus install codec corresponding to your CPU (ARM V6) all from the market.
Then place the .srt with strictly the same file name as you video file, play it with Mobo and subs should just show up.
I tested with lots of video format, including
Thanx for the reply, but do .srt files also show on the HDMI output if they are downloaded?
On the tablet all Works fine.

I'm now re-encoding everything using XviD4PSP which is free and allows you to burn in the subtitiles. Seeing as I'm transcoding most stuff to h264 mainline anyway, I might as well add subs. The main problem is that this software is slower than handbrake. It does accept SRTs though. Jubbler is good for converting and editing subtitile files.
I play using moboplayer and mVideoPlayer. mVideoPlayer plays with hardware decoding and allows you to change the size of SRT subs if you are using SRT. The other players show text too small.
Life would be so much better if stock played embedded subtitles in an m4v though!
Hi everyone. Recently I bought a new GT P5113. In all the tablet reviews they say that it can play easily almost all AVI, MKV, MP4 etc video files, but when I try to play them with the stock video player I get a message that video is not supported. I dont think that this is normal.
My tab is running the latest firmware update from Samsung ULGB2 4.0.4 or sth like that. Any ideas, except installing 3rd party players? Somebody else with the same problem?
Thanks!
what files exactly wont play and are they stored locally?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free&hl=en
try bsplayer, it should hardware playback files with a HW onscreen to let you know.
It plays all my upnp hosted video files just fine, i had some issues with streamed files with the stock player. assuming my p3110 uses the same decoding process.
Thanks for the info. It wont play divx and xvid avi files, also it doesnt want to play mkv and mp4, which is completely strange. The files are stored on the externsl microsd. I wonder if i need to make a hard reset...
Edit: BSplayer plays videos only in SW mode

I fixed it with a simple restart. Firmware bug obviously Now we are OK
why not give Dice Player a try?
I used to have MX Player but switched to Dice Player.
I have a bunch of mkv's I decoded myself from some dvd's using a free software for windows, but when I play them with mx player on the note 10.1 I can only use sw and not hw.
Anyone who knows what the problem may be?
No, but I have the same experience. Many video's need SW b/c HW will either not play, or produce audio mismatch.
I use hw for video and sw for audio... Works fine but doe go out of sync when just using hw...
Why do you convert dvds to mkv ?
You can convert them to mp4 or avi with ac3 audio.
The files are smaller and the video quality is the same.

cos it's an easy software and process: put in the dvd, select language and subtitle, click convert and in a few minutes I get the movie ripped to an mkv file.

Can you see embedded DVD Subtitles (Vobsub) in mkv video files ?
I didn't manage to do it because, even if MX Player recognised the differents streams, including the DVD subtitles, I couldn't select the subtitles in menu (as if there was no subtitles stream).
I had :
- to extract the subtitles from the mkv file (.idx and .sub)
- to reencode them in SRT format by using an OCR online service
- to replace the Vobsub subtitles by the SRT ones in the mkv video file.
Can you share an easier solution, it there is one, please ?
