DTS Elite Joined: 12 Jul 2000 Posts: 11553	Posted: 06-18-2012 11:23 AM                  Subtitles problem in VLC I downloaded a video that's supposed to have subtitles in English, but the subtitles show up in VLC as all wrong characters. I tried changing the default encoding for subtitles in the settings, but that just changed the subtitles to square characters (those are missing characters). Anyone know what I need to do to fix this? This is in Windows 7 (Home Edition).

There's an option in VLC to adjust the subtitle timing/delay but I don't want to have to mess about with that 10-15 mins into a video. It's at times like that when I hate computers! Will installing that codec pack make any difference to this? I mean, can it be a codec issue, considering the replacement subtitle worked - at first.
