which program beside windows media player 11 allows to playback mkv video? wmp 11 doesnt show any english subtitles.

thanks
 
vlc works ok it shows english subtitles so now my question if i want to convert to any other format like divx will it lose english subtitles?
 
you would have to hard-sub the subtitles. with regard to how to force a hardsub when reencoding, i have no idea.
 
i see subtitles in wmp11/vista. using haali media splitter -> ffdshow for both video and audio decoding. when i right click, i get a menu that allows me to choose subtitles.
 
I think hardcodding would only get in the way - not as pretty or cuztomizable subs and you won't be able to purge them for screencapping purposes if you ever need that. Oh, and obviously all that time and effort wasted in re-encodng.

If your subtitles are in SAMI format, I know it is totally independent from your video file. But since you have mkv (contains subtitles within), it is most likely go away when you do the conversion. I would look into ways to export that subtitle to .smi, there is gotta be a way to do that. As for a media player with great interface and least amount of hassle, my standard suggestion has been KMP for some time, except I will most likely be migrating to DAUM Pot player; not sure they have an english version for it though.
 
thank everybody I really apprecite it very much I realize VLC does work very well but this baby netbook could not handle 720p mkv video format. 🙁
 
What GPU (I am guessing an IGP of some sort) does your lappy have? Mine has a lowly 7050m, and it plays 720p contents without dropped frames using KMP. That was with VMR and/or overlay mixer, but EVR might work even better (which I have not tried on this computer). The only problem is KMP has some bugs with EVR in the latest releases, namely subtitles in 1434 and borders in 1435.

As for subtitles, look at some of the links here:

The only subtitles I came across (95%+ of them) are in .smi format, so that's what I would convert them to.
