I would be grateful if you corrected this shortcoming.
I hope that you don't want to be worse than Windows Media Player. Another person wrote about something similar, maybe not really related, but I also tried the suggestions he received and it didn't work as well. One girl was talking about EXACTLY the sameĪnd her main problem wasn't fixed. Other people tried to discuss this problem, however no-one helped them. This effect should be automatic and it is in the other media players, even Windows Media Player. I am not a programmer so I am talking gibberish right now, but I hope you understand me. Believe me I tried every single option to change these settings but without any result. Ffdshow has options for subtitles, Haali media splitter as well. I suppose that it uses to many codecs/filters for subtitles. But in BSPlayer its capabilities are somehow limited. From my own experience I have noticed that DirectVobSub emulates this kareoke effect the best, as it does in Windows Media Player, in other players I don't remember. I am using BSPlayer 2.61 Build 1065 and Media player codec pack v3.5. Secondly I want to express that other programs like Media Player Classic, VLC player and what is funny even Windows Media Player perform this Karaoke effect without any problem. When I play the mkv the haali splitter appears in the tray, and I can just shut them off there by right clicking there. Some of the files I have acquired are >10GB and did come with the separate subtitle files but even getting rid of them didn't fix the problem.
When I use a normal avi file then it works. It's not as easy as clicking on the video screen in media player or center. I am having a problem with embedded ass/ssa subtitles from mkv files, I mean the karaoke effect doesn't work at all.
