^ what app are you using to view the .avi files?? vlc, window media player, powerdvd..etc..

Apps such as vlc won't use VobSub to display the .srt subs, and need to be loaded within vlc itself..

cool_kickin_dude · « **Reply #1362 on:** December 08, 2007, 05:45:28 PM »

I watch the .avi files on windows media

Guchi_Jnr · « **Reply #1363 on:** December 09, 2007, 01:18:59 AM »

In that case "Direct VobSub" should work fine..
Question though, do you have "Direct VobSub" installed?? I have no idea what was installed on your system when you installed CCCP..

If you want DirectVobSub, you can grab it here

^ Sorry dude, but that's not true..

You can just keep the subs on the PC, and direct VobSub to that directory.. (or directories in my case)

Just make sure to rename the .srt files to match the .avi ones..

Ah, you learn something new everyday.

Users, never check all available options!

This isn't about the site, it's about my computer.

In August I've been having connection problems with my Verizon DSL. In mid-August I couldn't connect to the net from this computer, even with Dial-Up. By September I had my computer fixed. He said that it was missing a net component and couldn't reinstall normally. The symptom was the connection speed kept changing. The highest it normally would be is 190kB/s but with this problem it bounces around to 39kB/s and everything in between, around the lower numbers mostly. Could someone tell me the problem or how to fix it without having to wipe out my hard drive?

Is your computer directly connected to the DSL or is there a (ADSL) modem (from verizon?) in between?

And: which OS? and which component are you missing according to them?

Phone line to modem(Westell Model # 2200) to computer. The operating system is Windows XP 2. There has been no mention of any lost component at all.

Anyway, I would normally try a shotgun approach to a problem like that by running:
sfc /purgecache
sfc /scannow
to make sure none of your Windows files are corrupt. Then follow it with winsockfix http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4372.html and then dial-a-fix http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix with all options checked (except the time/date one.) That will take care of a lot of random system/internet problems.

It might not be your computer. Verizon are limiting people's bandwidth for those that exceed 5GB in each billing period.

Sorry, I meant the computer never mentioned the missing component. I can't remember the name of the component itself.

Surprise!

Copy the files to your harddisk, change the filesnames to match and try again.

Hey guys, Do any of you know a good (and free) uneraser program? I accidentally deleted this one word file, and it's kinda important >_<

frblckstr1 · « **Reply #1375 on:** December 15, 2007, 04:32:47 PM »

^ You did check the recycle bin??

I have this habit of deleting file directly (shift+delete) T_T

but thanks for the link! I found some freeware, ~~and will try installing them tommorow.~~
edit: recovered it! phew ^_^ thanks for the help. I really have to change my habit and start using the recycle bin :p

^ thanks(luckily I bought Maximum PC magazine which had appliactions such as Media Classic, Divx and Winamp). One last thing, with the .srt files, which application will read the subtitles? Adobe wouldn't work, not sure if either Wordpad or Notepad had it..
