divX subtitle support?

Has anybody achieved show subtitles on divX movies?

I've put the subtitle file and video file on the same directory, and i also renamed the subtitle file to be same with video file . Although i've tried both .srt and .sub file extension, it didn't work!!!

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

it didn't work!!!baureacht

1) The PS3 CAN in fact play subtitled DIVX files, but the key here is that the files must be linked. There may be a way to play external SRT/SUB/IDX but I haven't yet figured it out. For now the files must be linked (but not hard-subbed...there's a big difference).

2) Use Google to look up a program called AVIAddXSubs v7.0. Essentially this is a program that creates "Xsubs" which are soft-subtitle files for official DIVX and XVid files. This works much in the way that it would with a Matroska (MKV) or OGM video file, but it's used with Divx containers.

3) Using the program you now have FULL control over the subtitle options. You can change the font sizes, colors, fonts, etc. as well as support for several subtitle files within one movie (meaning if you want to have say Japanese/Chinese/English/Korean/Spanish subs on one movie, you can).

4) The program will take your original video and the subs and merge them into a new file that ends in the .DIVX extension. You can rename it to be .AVI if you like, but the PS3 does recognize the .DIVX extension regardless.

5) Once you have the new file that's been created, you can load it to your PS3 however you like (streaming it, copying it to harddrive, playing on external USB drive, burning to disc, etc.).

6) Play the video file and once it's playing press the Triangle button on the controller to pull up the menu options. Go over to subtitles and you will now find that you can toggle between the various languages there. How cool is that? ^_^msehtl

Didn't know divx can work like a package as well, thnx for the tip.

I've done all the above and the subtitles are too low on the screen, I can't read them. I try to adjust the settings of my TV, but nothing seems to work. Any idea how to get those subtitles a little higher?

Ah I've figured it out, I had to change the resolution options in the AVIAddXSubs program. It took me a few hours of experimenting, but at least I know what do to in the future.

I use the free program Aviaddxsubs.

With Aviaddxsubs you can merge the avi or divx file with the srt subtitle file to one file in just 2 till 3 minutes and then you can play avi and divx movies with external srt subtitles on the Playstation 3 or Playstation 4.
