I have a standalone MPEG4-compatible DVD player which seems to play all kinds of Divx files I have tried so far (Divx3, Xvid, DX50). However, when it comes to subtitles, there is no way I can display them.
What I did is I burned a CD with my Divx (.AVI) and subtitles (.SRT) files with the same file name (except for the extension, of course). I used short filenames: 6 characters, all alphabetical, no special character. I tried the same giving the subtitles file a .SUB extension, but no joy either. By the way, this CD plays without any problem on my PC (and WITH the switchable subs!) using the Videolan app.
The manual that came with the player is very basic and gives no info on how to produce an MPEG4/Divx CD. It only mentions that the player supports subtitles. I purchased this player in Asia and there is no way I can contact the manufacturer for any support.
Is there anything else that I should have done, or that I could try, in the process of creating my Divx CD? Or should I come to the conclusion that, for sure, my standalone player is unable to display switchable subtitles for a Divx CD?
Please bear with me if you find my question trivial as I am a novice in this area. I tried to search this forum for the answer and I also went through some of the FAQ/guides, but no success.
Can anyone kindly help?
