Yeah, this is a little strange. Up till recently I haven't had problems with this. But I started playing movies that make USE of the subtitle system and... nothing.

My friend got "Amistad", I started watching it, and I've seen the MOVIE before, one of my faves. So when they start talking FOREIGN languages I know for a fact that subtitles are supposed to show up. But... none did. So I thought it was the movie. I think my friend ended up taking the movie back because of it.

I feel bad now, because it SEEMS it's not the movie at all. I rented "Advent Children" (which FF fans know is all in foreign language) and selected subtitles and... nothing. What the heck are they saying?!

Took the dvd out and put in some other of my dvds that use subtitles. Zippo! No subtitles! Now you get to watch the movies and guess what it is you're laughing at!

What's WRONG with my dvd rom? I thought it was the program I was using. But I tried Interactual and Windows Media Player and they both meet with the same problem. Seems to be the dvd rom itself.

EDIT: Btw. I should add a couple things. I'm using eMachines desktop. WindowsXP installed.DLoad install and try it with VLC media player...Free.

This will eliminate it as a software issue if it still doesn't work.

The only way to test the drive would be to swap it into another machine and see if it still does the same thing...I don't why you are having this problem, but I do have a suggestion. Try using vlc (http://www.videolan.org/). It can often deal correctly with video files that other players cannot. Quote from: sewerurchin on May 14, 2007, 03:21:21 PM
