1> I first play avi movie in media palyer classic with subtitle option. It won't let me do it, instead of poping up a warning message: change video renderer type and reopen it. obviously, reopen dosen't help any.
2> I download bsplayer and tried again. Also i found subtitle file is empty in notepad, so I searched through the website and downloaded subtitle in .srt format. I can see the subtitle file correctly displayed in bsplayer main panel (with the same name of the movie) while movie is playing. But the wired thing is: there is no actual subtitle in the movie window!! i tried all the options like: show subtitles, no transparent selected, auto/manual position, color, and in preference-->subtitles, selected 2,4,5,7,8,9. also enabled are 2 options in vobsub.
3> I remembered that rendering issue in media player classic. So in bsplayer-->option-->preference-->video-->video rendering, I first tried VMR9 renderless, bsplayer crashed. Then i reopen bsplayer, and tried VMR7 renderless, this time, bsplayer works OK but still without subtitles in the movie window. I gave it up.
4> supprisely I tried media player classic again, the subtitle is there! Amazing!!!!!
5> I went back to bsplayer. Still no subtitles.
