How to use .idx and .sub files?
 

Yeah downloaded a movie, and it came with a .idx and a .sub file (for the subtitles for the film), any idea how to get them to work?

Cheers

Not 100% sure, but I think you need to download DivX

Install VobSub http://www.afterdawn.com/software/au...ols/vobsub.cfm

Then just make sure all 3 files have the same name (e.g. called "HOT Lesbian rimjob.avi", "HOT Lesbian rimjob.sub" and "HOT Lesbian rimjob.idx") then just open the file in Windows Media Player and they should show automatically.

Excellent. Worked perfect, thanks Hasney :y: VG Forum works again.

This. If it still is giving you a problem, then K-lite Codec.

All you really need is that they have the same filename. For example Sluts.XXX.2003.idx should match Sluts.XXX.2003.avi

Then MPC or VLC should recognize this and show the subs. If not then there's subtitle options to turn it on/off, english, chinese etc if available.

MPC or VLC would work like that, WMP doesn't like it until VobSub is installed though.

Would have also worked, that codec pack has VobSub in it :)

I'd probably say download VLC as the more advanced option: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

It is a much more powerful media player.
