I cannot turn on subtitles in Quicktime Pro

emiserry · Apr 13, 2009, 12:28 PM

I've got quicktime pro installed and I have perian.
For some reason, everytime I go to View and Subtitles, it says something like turned off ( I am Dutch, so I dont know what it says in english ). De color of the text is grey like this , so it is unclickable.

Does anyone know a solution?

It may be that there are no subtitles associated with that video. Not all videos have them.

Well, it doesnt work with any movie I use, neither one of them are able to use subs. Which is strange because I've downloaded the subs and put them in the same file.

Have you tried following the directions here?

Ah yes, the magical ehow.com

Does it give any errors?

Well, it didnt really do what I was looking for.
You see, I have a lot of sub files, all with the right filetype for every movie, but quicktime refuses to let me use them. This is for avi/mpeg/etc...
I tried it in vlc but he doesnt let me use subs either.

Then maybe there is a converter out there that will convert your filetypes to one useable by either QT or VLC.

You should give this software a try. I believe it would help.
