Michael,

First let me say that your blog is AMAZING. Thanks so much for all the great tutorials, tips and tricks.

I was wondering if this also worked with extenders. I use Media Center almost exclusively through extenders. It would be nice if you could comment on Extender compatibility in your posts.

I’ve been meaning to put more emphasis on extenders though I don’t use my extender (an xbox 360) very often myself. I’ll see about doing some more serious work with it in the near future.

Sadly, many things like this just don’t work well with extenders… and subtitles are particularly frustrating! You basically have to reencode your video and burn in whatever subtitles you want.

Start by installing FFDShow tryouts and then follow this guide to enable subtitles. Then I would recommend using MCDU to set Media Center to use FFDShow.

I having same problems with subtitle.

Using MCDU I can make it work ONLY for MKV files.

after hours of work – I succeed to add subtitles on the xbox via tversity (with the k-lite codec pack and ffdshow) the problem is when i play the movie with subtitles – the movie is played with black bars around it (horizonally and vertically) and the subtitles are on the low part of the tv that i can’t see most of the second line of the subs.
anyone knows what I’m doing wrong?

If you’re using FFDShow for subtitles you can adjust the position under the Subtitles tab in the FFDShow Video Configuration

This would be PERFECT, if I didn’t get the “ÿ” in just about every subtitle line… please note this ONLY happens when playing dvd’s. Any ideas why this is happening? I’m debating whether I should let that annoy me or keep it as I really like how I can make my subs nice and bold (where some movie, the subtitles are hard to read and I don’t want to go back to those, haha). So here is what I am getting if you take the line from above: “ÿI was hoping I could reason with them.” (if the symbol doesn’t post when i hit “post”, it’s a Y with two dots across the top (ALT+0255). Any ideas why and how to eliminate the decrepid y?
