I've been searching through the threads, but can't find the info I need.
I can't get my DVD player to read any types of subs files. It seems to decode all sorts of MPEG, DivX movies properly, but I can't get any subs to show. After I flashed the memory using the update on PHILIPS website, at least the subs files have a little icon in the menu view, but if I click on the subtitles button on remote, it indicates that the function is not valid. I've tried renaming movie and sub files so that they're short and identical. I've tried DVD +R CD R CD RW DVD RW . . . always same result.
Finally spoke with people at Philips support site in Canada today. They were pretty much no help. They said they have no idea if the subs are supposed to work. They did tell me that the font has to be a 'latin' script. Does anyone know how to check what script is used for subs in .SRT file? Is it possible to convert these subs files so that they'll work??

Any advice greatly appreciated, and if I've missed the appropriate thread, I apologize.
