First to greet you all and already at the start to seek help. I have read that SGS supports subtitles but I do not know how to put them while watching a movie. If somewhere can find a solution then to this forum. Sorry about my English, if there are some linguistic errors blame google not me.
Which type of subtitles do you want to use?
You can try soul player, which supports smi and srt.
Cheers

I use the srt subtitles.
my post might help you..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6902833&postcount=9
or if you already have the srt subtitle.. download media players in the market namely mVideoplayer or Meridian.
just make sure the video & subtitle filenames are identical & differs only on their extension.
thank you very much, working, I was left with even a small problem because some letters in the Serbian language shows the symbols but the main part of the problem is solved. Thanks again

hi, i am lookng for a video player supporting subtitles in text format or other ?? is there anything like that ??
cheers, matt
I'm relative sure that TCPMP has you covered here.
i am using TCMPM and cannt see this option.
Don't think the core player supports subtitles and have not seen another player that includes this. Why not do what i do and encode the subtitles with the rest when i am encoding the video - comes out fine on my device - just about read the text. I use fair use wizard (free edition) for straight ripping from dvd to xvid including subtitles. http://www.fairusewizard.com/lang_en/fairuse_wizard_dvd_divx_xvid_backup_tool_light_edition.html
thats fine if i wanna rip dvds but i am tolking about avi format. i mean i usualy have avi movie in eng and polish subtitles in seprate txt format. i use vpaler on my desktop. any ideas ??
I think it does - in the version 0.72
Hi.
You may also try:

it's in polsh, but pictures are also.
Quite simple and it works.
And you will need the newest version of TCPMP: 0.81 with such support.

Yes, VLC media player. Google search it.
None of the versions working on HD2. I need this player because this is the unique player capable of showing subtitles. I need subtitles because my main language is not english. Please help.

You could always use a video encoding program to get your subtitles and at the same time be able to play them on the HD2's own video player.
TCPMP with subtitles plugin works fine too.
Encoding video takes too much time. I don't want to bother. And none of the TCMP versions worked at me. All of them crusing. Thanks anyway.
Get Coreplayer... It's the best

Do a search...there's a specific version that works for HD2.
And coreplayer has ZERO subtitles support. Pathetic for something that's not free.

I was looking around and saw that the video player does not display the subtitles for .mkv files...does anyone know if it would be possible to somehow enable the video player to be able to display them?

Bumping.
I've got the same question. If the default player doesn't play mkvs with subtitles, is there another player that does so (already tried Rock Player).
I think we're outta luck. I asked this question a while back and got nothing but crickets.
If you absolutely need the subtitles, you could always hard encode them, but it is probably only worth the time if you absolutely cannot do without subtitles.
Nothing on the market right now which will get the subtitles. It sucks I know. There is a player in development that will support it but its not too close to release.

Have you guys tried mVideoPlayer?
It has pretty decent support for subtitles. Not sure if it plays embedded ones in mkv's, but it definitely does support subtitles.
Strange, I recall seeing a thread on Xda that had the same question but there was a guy who posted a picture/screencap of mkv and subtitles playing on a video player. I should have bookmarked that thread.

I've tried this but it didn't work. I extract the subs in .ass format and tried to load it but mVideoPlayer couldn't find the file even after I change the directory.
Try searching for meridian player in the market.

Did you make sure to rename the .ass file to match the .mkv you extracted it from? Make sure the file names match and put them both in the same directory on your phone. mVideoPlayer will load the subs automatically after you open the .mkv. It works flawlessly for me on my Galaxy S.
To view MKV files with subtitles, I've been using MKVtoolnix with MKVextractGUI to extract the subtitles from the MKV container. After the extraction, make sure the subtitle file(.ass, .srt, etc.) has the same name as the MKV file and place it in the same folder as the video. When that's done, use mVideoPlayer to play your file.
Hope this works for you!
I would include links for you guys, but there's a restriction for new users. A quick Google search should help you find the programs you'll need.

the problem with supporting subtitles in .mkv containers...is just that....mkv is JUST a container format, which can contain a myriad of video, audio, and subtitle file formats. And there are several subtitle file formats...
mVideoplayer supports external .SRT subs, so what one can do is use a tool like virtualdubmod or mkvtoolnix to demux subs out of the mkv container and assuming they are SRT, just extract them and name them to the exact name of the MKV file. it's also possible to download SRT subs fairly easily for common videos, but there's the possibility that text timing can be off....
...apparently mVideoPlayer supports .ass as well....
Oh, I just had to place the subs in the same folder as the Video. That worked for me.
Breaking: mVideoPlayer 2.20 updates states that it now supports subs in MKV's. I haven't tried it yet, I'm just now dling it.
Peep here.
Support for subtitles in MKV files, but you need a phone that supports playback of mkv.

edit: more info
Yep, now it is time again for another beta version of mVideoPlayer. This time the big news are subtitle support in mkv files for phones that support playback of these files. (Galaxy S for example).
Full change-log:
- Support for subtitles in MKV files for all Galaxy S owners!
- Toggle subtitle on/off has been replaced with 'Subtitle Tracks' since MKV files may have multiple subtitle tracks.
- Now remembers previous search phrase in all search dialogs.
- IMDb Info accessible from poster search activity through long press on movie.
- Fix for poster search cache showing up in Gallery app on Android < 2.2 devices.

ok, i am trying to find a conversion program but no luck. well actually i was able to convert divx movie using audial one 8 but when i try to convert a regular dvd it will not allow me to select the file and when i try to convert a m4v it starts then i get a playback error. worst $60 i have spent.
I have problem to find app which support movie play via HDMI output with subtitle.
On my device I see movie playing with subtitle (.srt) but on TV I see only movie but withouth subtitle.
Does anybody have any proposal how to fix that or which app do show subtitle on output HDMI. To include subtitle into movie as is not optional becouse I can't convert movie every time I want to look TV via phone MHL.
For movies I think format like .avi, .mkv, mp4 etc...
thanks for proposals...

redzion: Does the sub and video file got exactly the same name? And is the sub file an .srt file? If not, try converting the sub file to .srt
ok. problem was in filename.. strange that subs did work on device but not on tv, now when subs have same name work on boths sides..
thank you...

You're welcom, glad it worked!
What i have found about stock player is you can't have more than one subtitle file for example:
nameofthevideofile.ENG.srt
nameofthevideofile.SPA.srt
I know mVideoPlayer can load different srt files but i'm not sure it can display the subtitles over MHL. I'm going to try it and post results.
Ok my little experiment with subtitles and MHL:
Stock player shows subtitles both phone and MHL
mVideoPlayer only shows subtitles on the phone screen
MoboPlayer only shows subtitles on the phone screen
RockPlayer shows subtitles both phone and MHL only in software decoding mode. In hardware decoding software subtitles are shown only on the phone screen
DicePlayer only shows subtitles on the phone screen
Those are the tests so far. Only mVideoPlayer allows me to choose the srt file (several languages for example).
Had the same problem and answer bellow helped me to see the subtitles on TV screen. The only limitation I currently see is that the internal player control the size of font on the phone screen but not change it externally. In addition, the subtitles position in both screens are slightly different, which point on different processing for internal and external view.
In addition I had a problem that the Hebrew subtitles does not shown but I saw question marks.
After some investigation and tests I found that the internal player on my Galaxy 2 accept only unicode srt files, designed for RTL read. Since most of the subtitles in Hebrew are historically published as ANSI and LTR read (since the DVD appliance days that were limited to this format. Currently most software and streamers read all formats) I had to convert it twice:
1) Open the ANSI file in Subtitles Workshop and fix punctuation (Subtitles Workshop works only with ANSI files).
2) Convert the file to Unicode (using Notepad "save as" command and choosing Unicode or UTF-8 format).
BTW, usually I use mVideoPlayer. It requires RTL file so I had to do the first step any way before transferring the movie to the phone, but then it doesn't support the Unicode file that I saved. After more test I found that it plays UTF-8 files. Since the internal player is luckily support both Unicode and UTF-8 formats, I can keep only one file in UTF-8 format and RTL direction of punctuation.
The only problem is that Subtitles Workshop doesn't support not Unicode neither UTF-8, so if the srt file is originally in these format, I can't fix the punctuation direction (I didn't find another tool) unless I lose the special characters like notes you can find mainly in musical.
Hope this helps for other users, specially for RTL language users (Hebrew/Arabic).

I use MoboPlayer and BsPlayer and both reproduce video with subtitle on TV via MHL, only you has to play the video with Soft Decoding.
