How to get rid of double subtitles in Media Player Classic
Oct 12th, 2009 by Leendert
For some reason my subtitles started to appear twice in my Media Player Classic (MPC) screen. I obviously did something wrong but how to repair it? MPC has dozens of settings and then there are all the different codecs with their settings. Fortunately I found the solution.
One reason can be that your video file has subtitles embedded AND you’re having a separate subtitles file which is being opened.
For me this was not the case as I did not have a separate subtitles file. The subtitles were enabled in Media Player Classic:
Subtitles enabled in Media Player Classic
MPC subtitle language selected
The Video Codec however was also opening the subtitles:
FFDShow Video Decoder
In this case the FFDShow Video Decoder. So I unmarked the “Subtitles” option in the settings menu and all from now on only the MPC player itself is presenting the subtitles.
FFDShow Settings Subtitles
