Play movie with subtitle..

i am using JMF player to play movies
i have downloaded some codecs (jffmpeg)
but one thing is missing
displaying subtitles
i been searching google but find nothing
There is something written all ready
or
should i start thinking how to do it my self.
i am thinking about using a glass pane to draw the subtitles
but i need and a subtitle parser (SRT,SUB files)
there is something written in java ?
or i need to do it by my self.
if all made by me?
i have question about subtitle timing
can i use JMF to throw some event when a
certain time in the movie is arrived
i don't want to check every second?
allot of questions
any help will be appreciated
thanks allot
shay

It's so xxxx complicated to play a movie with subtitels
since JMF was last updated at 2004.
i am giving a try to MPlayer.
may be when there is a new version of JMF
with no need of hacking things like:
searching for codecs all over the web
find one site that hack JMF to display text over JMF Player .(and i searched google)
find a responsible why to handle player timing (subtitle timing)
and more simple why to play a movie without catching alot of exceptions
till you lost your mind.
sorry .i rely give it a try.
thanks allot every one.

Playing movie with subtitles and without

Total newbie at making a film with subtitles and at using DVD Studio Pro
The person creating the subtitles did it in FCP and I just opened her project and then laid it on my video. Question is - how can I burn the DVD with the options of English only or with subtitles.
Do I need to have two movies imported into DVD Studio, one with subtitles another not (it's only a 30 minute video, so that's not a problem to fit on a DVD).
Or is there another way to handle it in DVD Studio?
thanks

Typically you would NOT have subs on your footage, but would add them to DVDSP as a separate file. You can create subtitles inside DVDSP but if you do there is no flexibility in manipulating them later.
Workflow is to create the footage in FCP, then to use that in a subtitler app to spot the speech and create the subs, then import the footage and the subs file into DVDSP.
As for setting it up in DVDSP, have a look here:

and here for slightly more complexity:

I have downloaded a movie with subtitle to iMovie. When playing the video, the subtitle does not show up through the entire video. It happens to my Mac Air and Mac Pro.

I have downloaded a video with subtitle. When playing the edited video, the subtitle does not show up in the entire video. The subtitle comes and goes in the video.I have tried with my Mac Pro and Mac Air, with the same result. I have downloaded movie with subtitle before and never had this problem. Please advise.

I'm not very knowledgable on this but subtitles are sometimes on a separate track from the main movie. Try opening the downloaded video in Quicktime Player and saving it - you may be asked if you want to "flatten movie". Choose to do this. The resulting movie will probably now work OK. Others may be able to supply more comprehensive instructions.

Watching movies with subtitles Apple TV

I've been searching for a post like this for ages so I decided to make one myself to help other users with the same issue I've had:
Watching movies with subtitles in Apple TV WITHOUT the awfull darkening, shadow or whatever blurry effect showed by itunes player when streaming via airplay.
As many apple fanboys, i just cannot get whyy apple has done such a poor job with apple tv regarding to subtitled videos: the darkening of the lower part of the screen where the subtitles are displayed is simply unbereable and, because of it, I've found myself being forced to hardcode (because muxing is not gonna work, you need to hardcode) subtitles into movies with mp4tools or other similar software, which takes AGES of processing. Bt after buying and ipad i've found a brand new -and incredibily efficient- way to do it: VLC STREAMER
With an Ipad and VCL Streamer, you'll be able to airplay any of your video files of any kind (forget about endless hours converting to mp4) and, what is most important about this thread: TO AIRPLAY MOVIES WITH SUBTITLES not the awfull way apple tv does it, but in a clean, beautiful and regular way.
You need to purchase it cause the free version doesn't support airplay streaming. It is under 2$ or so and it's the best 2$ I've spent in the apple store. Ever.
After having purchased it, you only need to run it in your computer, save any subtitle file (usually .srt) in the same folder with the video file it belongs to and (important) with the same name, just with the extension changed. Then you can either stream it via Wi-Fi or load it and save it in your ipad and, anytime you hit "apple tv airplay", you'll watch it on your tv amazingly as it should be, and not with the ******** darkening of the lower part of the screen that apple tv usually displays.
I know it's not an useful solution for everybody cause it needs an ipad to work but, if you are lucky enough to have one, VLC streamer is an app that will allow you to watch your subtitled movies in your tv easy and clear.
PS: Sorry for bad english!

Not always, but generally this is a network issue.
It also depends if you are playing across the LAN from iTunes (Computers icon using Home Sharing of iTunes) or playing purchases from the cloud under the main Movies/TV Shows/Music (iTunes Match) categories.
Audio will require less speed on either the LAN or internet to work well, whereas video, especially HD is more demanding. If it starts up quickly then stops to rebuffer I would consider interference on the LAN if uisng wifi (eg microwaves, neighbouring networks).
Also, to clarify, you are not talking about Airplay from a device to AppleTV (which will be worse with poor connections).
Test your internet speed at speedtest.net if playing from the internet.
SD needs 2.5 Mbps to play quickly, HD 6-8 Mbps for 720 or 1080p.
If playing across the LAN, if feasible (even for testing) connect as many device to the router by ethernet as possible to see if it's the wifi.
Occasionally when AppleTV behaves oddly it can help to unpower it completely and restart - may or may not help but quick and free. Same goes for restarting the router/Itunes when things go bad.

What application will allow me to play movies with an external disc drive?

What application will allow me to play movies with an external disc drive? I recently purchased an external disc drive and when testing it discovered that it only played the audio of the DVD, not the video. Very frustrated.

Are you referrring to a commercial DVD movie, or a disk with digital movies, such as mpeg files?

Cannot load movie with subtitles and export in QuickTime 10 / Os X Lion

Since Os X Lion, when trying to load a movie (DivX) in QuickTime 10 at the same time that the related subtitles file (.srt) is in the same folder as the movie, QT 10 suggests to use QT 7. QT 10 cannot load the movie with subtitles (in Snow Leopard everything was OK). Q& 7 is useless too because it cannot export movies to another format.
Anybody has a solution for this? Thanks for your help!

I do this because Perian don't work with QT10 on Mac OS X Lion:
-Try to open .avi movie with QT 10;
-OS X ask you to open on QT 7;
-Donwload QT 7 and install it. It will be installed on "Utilities";
-Download Perian but don't install it;
-Mount Perian, and click "Show Package Contents"
-Go to "Contents"->"Resources"->"Components"->"CoreAudio" and copy to Desktop "A52Codec.zip" and unzip it;
-Go to"Contents"->"Resources"->"Components" and copy to Desktop "Perian.zip" and unzip it;
-Go to "Contents"->"Resources"->"Components"->"CoreAudio"->Quicktime" and copy to Desktop "AC3MovieImport.zip" and unzip it;
-Then copy all packages with ".component" extention to /Library/Quicktime/;
-Then you can run all movies on QT 7.
Or,
-Install MPlayerX;
Or,
-Install VLC;

How to play movies with different ext like wmv and...

need to know how to play movies with various ext like wmv..mpeg..vlc on e7

If the phone's built-in video player does not handle those formats, your option are:
- find some other video player app that does, or
- convert the videos to a supported format
The E7 supported video formats are listed on, e.g., this page:

Playing movies with locked screen (OS X, iOS)?

Is there a way to make OS X or iOS devices to play movies with the screen locked?
Like this (I first submitted the question in Vision because I also need to be able to have the movies play without video, AND with headphones as the standard "viewing screen" - currently this is not working neither for iPhone or iPad... of course there are a bit more audio narration options when using a full Mac instead)
iOS: movies and TV with audio only, with locked screen?

Error Playing Movie with htaccess

If I use .htaccess file to authenticate connections to my stock apache/10.4.11 web server, the iPhone will error out with "Error Playing Movie" when it tries to access the file. It does authenticate and show the contents of the directory. It will also view other document types, such as html files, without error. If I remove the .htaccess, it will play the movie.
I dont recall my previous iPod Touch exhibiting this behavior, however I no longer have it available for testing.

Is this an iPhone/Safari problem, or apache problem? The site works fine using the Camino browser within OS X. Any ideas?

I can play that movie when I am connected via wi-fi -- it does not play for me via Edge (at least right where I am sitting :>).
This does happen a lot -- often a movie needs the bandwidth of wi-fi to play properly and if you are in a sketchy Edge territory you may have problems. Are you connected via wi-fi? Make sure it says that on your iPhone (you can see the wi-fi symbol right next to the AT&T on the top left of the iPhone display -- looks like little waves). If the video still doesn't play when you are connected via wi-fi let me know and we'll see what else we can try.

Play movie with java

Hey,
Im searching for a way to play a movie with java (without using JMF or javafx, these are media players only?),
I want to play a movie in my app. how do i do this?

I don't know, but JMF is not as inflexible as you imagine it to be. Why not ask in the forum dedicated to JMF?
