SRT subtitles in DIVX files
By the way. XBMC is the multi plataform XBOX program. Its beta is free. It says that you can configure front row and use it as such instead of Itunes.
The only problem that I had was to have it work as the default player, but it worked every single time as "open with". It will not give you the option immediately but you will have to "browse" and find it i "applications" the first time.
I will appreciate any input to run it as default player

.SRT's in Front Row work fine for me. I am using Perian and QT (not sure the versions, but they're the latest). I just checked this the other day. I can only say to check to make sure the filenames are identical, other than the file suffix.
What file type are we talking about?
I can get .srt files working with .divx files...
But they don't seem to show with Quicktime or Quicktime reference files... Does the quicktime native codec support srts? What does quicktime support (in the way of captioning or subtitles) if not?
Thanks!

Solution to viewing .srt in QT Pro
.: This issue has been driving me nuts for months. Today I upgraded to QT Pro, and nothing changed. So I started digging down into the 'net to see if anyone had posted a solution, and I found something here that worked.

How to get .srt and .avi to work in quicktime ( EASY WAY )
This works great almost seamless integration. Words and text appeared right on cue. I really cant thank you enough. I downloaded Inglorious Bstards only to find-out half the film was German. Then I downloaded Subtitles and could not get them to work with anything.
Subtitles File needed to be changed to Inglorious.avi.srt (Film was Inglorious.avi) and then both need to be in the same folder to work.
You have improved my viewing pleasure immensely. I love you and I want to have your children.
opensubtitles.org needs a mention too

For iTunes I have a solution. Check out my application iAddSubs, it extends iTunes with subtitle capabilities.

similar application for pc?
Are you aware of any application that allows you to add subs to iTunes TV shows via iTunes or QT, but works for windows?

TheStu got this started in the wrong direction, and off we all go, wrong, wrong, wrong. Here is the full and correct way to play subtitles with QuickTime Player:
-- The movie file can be MKV or AVI.
-- Install Perian AND "srtimport.bundle" from this link:
http://www.applesolutions.com/bantha/srt.zip
Yes, it seems a belt-and-suspenders approach, but it works.
-- Be sure the System Preferences > Perian is set to "Load external subtitles".
-- QuickTime Player preferences should be set to "Show subtitles when available".
-- The file names MUST BE EXACTLY THE SAME before the extension, and NO DOUBLE EXTENSION. Example: "Splendor in the Grass.avi" and "Splendor in the Grass.srt". This will not work: "Splendor in the Grass.avi" and "Splendor In The Grass.srt".
Even with all this done correctly, occasionally it decides to fail, and when that happens, all AVI files fail to activate the subtitles. The only solution is to uninstall Perian, reinstall Perian, and restart.
With QuickTime Player X, the latest Perian (v. 1.2.3) is needed.
