Embedded subtitles

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.8GHZ – Hyper Threading FSB 800MHZ – 1MB Cache
Video Nvidia G Force 4 FX 5200 256MB DDR AGP TV Out
1 GB DDR 400MHZ – Dual Channel 2 x 512MB
Windows XP Pro SP2
BSPlayer Professional v2.22.952

I'm very new to all this, if I seem a bit out please excuse:

Is there any way I could get rid of the embedded subtitles in a
Movie, example:
Sunshine.R5.Subbed.H264
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC

Appreciate your comments.

I am not familiar with this exact pirate release. However, embedded text subtitles can be turned off by pressing "S" while the movie is playing, or disabled at all by going to Options -> Preferences -> Subtitles and activating "Subtitles disabled" checkbox.

If you are using ffdshow to render subs, then uncheck "Subtitles" in ffdshow's array of filters.

Any form of subtitles is small in size and can remain in the video file without doing much harm.

Instead of the video format, please tell us the format of subtitles (text or graphical) and the software you are using to display them: BSPlayer, VSFilter, ffdshow.

Hi J7N,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I can't turn the subtitles off using "S" whilst playing, nor do they disappear ticking the disable box in the preferences section.
The subtitles seemed to have been copied in when copying the movie.
The software I use is BSPlayer and it displays the subtitles whilst playing the movie. There is no seperate subtitle file, so I cant say wether its txt or graphical.
I'm not using ffdshow nor VSFilter.

A quick search about scene rules makes me think that subbed might as well mean the letters hard encoded into the video stream. In that case there is no way to hide the subtitles.

Ok. Thanks, appreciate your reply.
I didn't think it was possible either, but then again I'm new to all this and thought that just maybe, subtitles that are encoded into the video stream could be erased somehow.

Thanks
Cheers

There is actually another (good) kind of subtitles - "embedded", they may be part of the media file (Matroska, OGM, VOB), but are not forced and can be turned on and off at will.

embedded != hard coded
