SOLVED: Scenario: The explorer folder option "hide know extensions" is opted in by default. The source subs are in a RAR file. When I then extracted them I got the actual .srt file but it's not recognized by several mediaplayers. Now when I opt out the extension setting and THEN extract the...

I know little to none about MKV but your reasoning sounds plausible. I'll try to find out some more info about reading out the MKV-file but I guess upfront I need to decide whether I want to see the movie bad enough to dig deeper into troubleshooting..

Thanks for the suggestion. By now I already finished watching the movie that doubled the subs and discarded it so now I'm only left with the one that doesn't load a subtitle at all (no matter which other sub I replace it with). According to MKVToolnix the MKV file (MPEG4-p/AVC/h/264) has 1...

Well, like I wrote in my first post: yes, I tried making a new file but nothing. Interesting point is that me by doing so and you by suggesting so assumes there actually IS something as metadata in a .srt file -even though I found no mentioning of it anywhere. Even more strange: My initial...

I have 2 instances of adding subtitles (.srt) to a movie where it doesn't work and makes no sense at all. I'll say I'm comfortable with editting subtitles using several 3rd party software and have done this hundreds of times but with these 2 movies I'm clueless as to why it doesn't work. With...

Anyone? I'm kinda lost here...

I recently assembled a new monster-PC (Win 8.1 64x/i7-4790K/Asus Z97 Pro/MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2 GB) and connect to my PC-monitor using DVI and HDMI to my receiver (Sony HT-SS1300: http://www.sony.nl/support/nl/content/cnt-specs/HT-SS1300/list) I use MPC-HC (and occassionaly VLC but I prefer MPC)...

Appearantly reinstalling Realtek drivers was one of the culprits.

Just to finalize this thread: I finally got it working. I reinstalled the Realtek High Def and AMD HDMI driver and other than that appaerantly there is a particular sequence in which I need to turn on my receiver. When turning it on I need to select a soundfield manually (even though it's on...

Ah.. a little help is needed after all. I wonder if I'm getting the proper DTS signal. The manual of the HCS is a bit unclear as to a function called 'Auto Format Direct'. In Auto I expect the receiver to detect the best audio signal but sometimes when playing a DTS source I just get 2 channel...

I recently bought a Sony HT-SS1300 HCS (with some help from the people here) and I have some questions: 1) I predominantly play movies on my PC which is connected with HDMI to the HCS and then unto my TV. I use Media Player Home Cinema and I was wondering what settings and codecs I'd need to...

Just installed the set. Configuration was easier than expected so no hassle there. Sound quality isn't top notch but way better than my TV speakers. Will be experimenting with some settings in the near future I suppose but so far I'm amazed (and relieved) hoe easy this was setting up. Thanks again!

Will pick up the Sony tomorrow from marketplace for 120 euros (including DVD player). Thanks for the input!
