How to Show Subtitles in Winamp

This will work with any player that uses DirectShow:

• install ffdshow from SourceForge
• run ffdshow – Video Decoder Configuration
• check the “subtitles” entry, save and close the configuration
• in Winamp make sure that “NullSoft DirectShow Decoder” (under Plugins – Input) has AVI as one of the recognized extensions – this will make Winamp use the external decoder
• place the .avi and .srt files in the same folder and make sure both have the same name
• play the .avi in Winamp – you should see subtitles now
