I want to watch The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo. I got the DVDrip and the subtitles. How do I watch the movie with subs using Media Player 11? I need to use WMP so I can stream it to my XBOX 360. I have 2 avi files...with 2 .sub files for each CD. I just don't know what else to do. Thanks Nit

Don't you just put the subtitle file in the same folder as the video? Not sure if the subs will be streamed to your Xbox though. Ryzen 5 5600, ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II, Corsair Vengeance RGB RT 32GB 3600MHz C16, MSI RTX 5070 Ti Ventus 3X OC , Corsair RMx Series RM750x. AOC AGON AG324UX - 4K 144Hz 1ms

yes, you just include the .sub file in same folder as .avi file. Both must be exact same filename in order to work. My ancient XBOX 1 plays subs fine using XBMC. RYZEN 5 2600\|RADEON 570\| \|ASRock X370 Killer\|DDR4@2800Mhz\|\|Corsair SPEC-05 Case\|AOC G2590FX 24.5''144hz 1ms\|

Yeah same folder and same name with different extensions .avi and .srt . That usually goes when you're watching movies on PC also Wink

I doubt it will work. Chances are that the X360 will only get the avi files (and even if it got the srt files I doubt it would support them), you'll need to use a tool that transcodes video files in real time and streams them to your X360. This tool would need to use direct show so that you can add a subtitle filter to the chain. You'd need to add hardcoded subs to your real time encode. Though I don't know if such a tool even exists, it's just the only way I can imagine it to work for sure. @todd72173: XBMC is a totally different beast, no similarities here. EDIT: Didn't see dingo_d's post. Apparently it does work. Last edited by me7 on Tue, 6th Jul 2010 23:21; edited 1 time in total

You can't stream subs that way. Why not get srt's and burn the avi's and srt's on DVD?
