Subtitles i have a sony dvd player that plays subtitles even after you choose "no subtitles" How can this be fixed? I have tried unplugging it, etc.

For every format (MP4 is not one, but dozens of formats and no standard) you need a player, or on a computer a setting in a program. A DVD player, only can play one format, a DVD format. Actually it is even a coded format. When you have a MP4 file, you should encode it to to the DVD format and then but it to a DVD, before you try to play it in a DVD player. Try reading some articles about video formats on Wikipedia, when it is interesting enough for you to understand different Video (and Audio) formats.

You can add subtitles to a movie through software on computer and then play the movie on your portable device. Just follow below steps to do that.

Hi - welcome to FixYa,

There are 2 methods for changing the subtitle settings on your DVD player.

Method 1.
To turn off the subtitles on your DVD player during playback:

1. Press the "SUBTITLE" button on your remote control
The subtitle button is just below the "0" (zero) numerical key on the remote control. It is marked "SUBTITLE" above the button and the button has "ABC" written inside a white rectangle on it.
2. Use the left "<" and right ">" arrow keys to change the subtitle setting
Each time you press an arrow key the subtitle language will change and eventually the language will read "OFF". The subtitles are now switched off during playback.

Method 2.
To turn disc subtitles off from the main menu:

1. Press the "MENU/LIST" button on your remote control (directly below "STOP")
The main menu will now appear
2. Press the down arrow key on your remote once to highlight "A" in the left hand column of the main menu
3. Press the right arrow key on your remote once to move to the right-hand column of the menu
4. Press the down arrow twice to highlight "Disc Subtitle"
5. Use the left and right arrow keys to change the subtitle options until your required choice is displayed
6. Once set, press the "MENU/LIST" button again to exit the menu.

This should solve your problem, but if you need any further assistance, please post back.

Try playing your movies with VLC Media Player, which can be found here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
It's 100% free and can play all types of codecs.
You can just drag and drop your subtitles over the movie once it's started.
What is the player you are using now?

I mean you can find many subtitles to DVD movie on the internet, just use google and search for the title of the film and write subtitle (lang ex. english) after.

Good luck

Just install VLC player. That is a free media player, light and supports most formats, including the VOB files.

Have you tried other DVD's in this unit and they work? If so it might be just an incompatibility issue with that DVD in your TV.

Not all language options will be present on all discs. Unplug/replug your dvd player, and try one more time.

go to dvd set up menu and reset the settings. try again to see subtitles.

Hi Ramink..

Try the program Sub2Divx (I have the same DVD sony dvp-ns67p worked properly). It takes just 2 minutes to put the subtitle in divx and is not fixed, only appears when tight subtitle on the remote control. I have a link to a tutorial but it is in Portuguese.
