three subtitles all saying the same thing, all overlapping

Hi,
This started off as an MKV file, with subtitles, personally I don't like mkv, so I converted the movie into an AVI. But the subtitles disappeared.

So using "MKVEWizard" I extracted the subs from the mkv file into an SRT file. I put the srt file into the same directory as my avi file.

The subs. showed up "great", unfortunately, so did two other layers of the same words. Although in a different font, as I said in the title above, "all over lapping".

Has anyone got ANY ideas as to how I can get the avi to show one set of subs, the embedded subs, so I don't have to use the srt file.

Or anything that will make the player (Media Player Classic Homecinema) show only one set of subs. Thanks in advance.

notonly.

 

If DirectVOBSub is installed it might be trying to show the subtitles.
If there is a green arrow showing up on the Taskbar during playback, right click on it and hide the subtitles.

 

Thanks I'll give it a go.

 

As Harry Enfield used to say "That's the way to do it". Thankyou very much attar.

 

Okey-dokey.
