[Tutorial] Watching Real Video (RMVB) with Subtitles

I noticed alot of the chinese raws are being released in RMVB format.
And alot of people don't know how to get the subtitles in a format that can be used in Real Player. This is a quick guide I just wrote:

I just use Real Alternative's media player classic to play the rmvb files with any subtitles directly(no modification required, except change the subtitle name to the same as the rmvb file name). If you download the latest version of real alternative:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm
this should work without any change in settings(considering if you have directx latest version I believe)

so all you'll need is eg.

Slow Dance 01.rmvb
Slow Dance 01.srt
and it'll play the subtitles.

One option is to install the Real Alternative codec and use the WIndows Media Classic player (you can find both at Free-Codecs.com. Since WMC works with vobsub, you should be able to see subs then. Good luck.

I tried to played rmvb in Real Player, but I couldn't load the subtitle. I installed rmvb codec with media player, still couldn't load the subtitle. I played it with BSplayer, it has sound and subtitle, but no picture (all messed up). VLC player doesn't work whatsoever. Windows Media Player, can't load subtitle. Is there anyway to get around this? I read on the internet that you can use BSplayer to play it, but how? There's no image. Is there any player to play this??? Btw, the file I'm trying to play is "It started with a kiss." Thanks.

Wrong place to ask this question in the Fansubbing forum. Go to the Support or Tech Talk forum and you'll find your answers there.

it has been answered a lot in the subtitle forum

well all u have to do since u've already got the Windows Media Classic is just to rename the file from filename.rm to filename.rmvb
that should make the subs work,and don't worry renaming the file type won't affect the video file Smile

hope that would help

yt_toshi is right. This should have been posted to the Support/Tech section. Moving it to Support section.

Now, as to your question. If you're going with Media Player Classic, you still need another program that'll play the subtitles (ie: vobsub). Check out the FAQ, specifically the section on subtitles [link].
