It is like 10 updates ago, in version 1.02.someting, that subtitles came automatically playing iso. After that we have had to force subtitles every single time with the “option”-button. Four extra push on the remote to get the subtitles!
If I change resolution from mp4 bluray-rip to dvd-iso-rip(wich we have to every single time because auto doesn´t work too well) and I want to see a drama-movie with subtitles I have to push like 40 times on the remote. That´s the hard thing with this wdtv. All the pushing. My finger bleeds every day.
That’s a way of looking at it. But when my DVD standalone defaults to subtitles on, even when there’s menus on the DVD, a sub will be displayed automatically. Usually the german one cause the player recognizes this and also displays the german menus.
How can I interact with the dvd menus? How can I turn dvd menus off?
You know, I have one - 1 and only one subtitle on my movie rips. I really wish that this subtitle could be recognized by the wdtv. All dvd-players, including very cheap chinese US $ 20 dvd-player always recognice the subtitle if there is only one subtitle on the dvd or on the memory card. I can´t imagine why this should be such a problem to implement. Especially because the wdtv needs a more simple way to reduce the number of remote tapping.
No, I have not tried mkv. My mp4-files play perfect after adjusting the resolution on the wdtv. Subs and sound and everything is like a dream come through. It´s when changing to iso dvd the problem start. My mother in law cannot find subtitles, my son cannot find subtitles, and neither one can change the resolution back to dvd-resolution on the wdtv. It´s a pain, but it is worth it som far. But as soon as there comes a mediaplayer that is made specially for usb-hdd, and works like a charm, then I will change.
It’s weird that it’s not working for you cause subtitles did from day 1. Since dvd menu support has been introduced, one can navigate the menu by pressing Option and selecting menu. This way you can select the audio submenu of the DVD and select wanted streams. HOWEVER, any DVD ISO I’ve ripped so far (menu or not) can cycle through streams present, by selecting option and then audio or subtitle.
Yes, I can navigate the menu by pressing Option and find the subtitle that way. But because my rips have only one audio and only one subtitle the wdtv should find the subtitle without navigating the menu. Wdtv finds the audio. I don´t have to navigate the Option/menu to find the audio. Why should it be so difficult for the wdtv to start subtitle automatically when it is so easy to find the audio automatically. I just don´t get it.
And like I said, a 20 US dollar chinese dvd-player always find the subtitles without any use of software. It is just to start the movie, either a dvd or a file on a micro sdhc-card on these chinese players that probably cost 1 dollar to produce, and they find both audio and subtitle automatically. I know, cause I have tested several. It should not be neccarsary in 2011 to navigate the menu to find the basic information in a file - the movie with the single subtitle.
The language version is english(settings - system settings - language(english)
Subtitle default is “on” in video settings
hdmi connection is
575 x 50 hz
Auto
My dvd is ripped, with subtitle
Result. No subtitle. Have to use the Option and push 5 - five times before subs apear. “Option”, “left arrow”, “left arrow”, “enter”, and then “Option”.
check [not the language of a sustem as a whole] secondary language subtitles version - you can find it in options on screen as “Western” or “1250” or others ] - check and try.
I guess what I am looking for is “additional encoding support” under “system settings”? There I have tried “Western Europe”, “Central Europe(Windows 1250)” and “Central Europe(ISO)” .
