This would be nice on the PSP as well

emoplayer33  |  March 18th, 2010 at 5:53 pm

if the ps3 can read the type of format that is being use.

well yeah, ps3 can recognize those stuff when you play a dvd.

but when it comes to individual file? i think is not gonna work. i think it’s possible but its gonna take alot of work.

XSnake  |  March 18th, 2010 at 6:33 pm

blu-ray as well

ShosSofe  |  March 18th, 2010 at 8:43 pm

oh how i wanted this…..

I’ve used PS3 Media Server to stream my .mkv files, but it really struggles with stylized subs, especially if the video is encoded at a high bitrate.

So yes, native support for .mkv files please.

Blackxino  |  March 18th, 2010 at 10:19 pm

no need!
PS3 Media Server can do this!
download it!

Kirkpad  |  March 18th, 2010 at 10:22 pm

I have a family member who is deaf and I create subtitles for home videos (ie. His birthday party). Unfortunately he cannot watch our home videos on the PS3 because I cannot use the seperate .srt files I have made up for our videos.

I use PS3 media server for OSX and for the life of me I can never get subs files to show up. I got it working once or twice, but sub support seems to be spotty at best.

Maybe my settings are off or something.

There’s tons of ways to get subtitles on PS3 for video files, PS3 Media Server is by far the easiest (if your PC and network can handle it).
But the PS3 can also read subtitles in a divx file, look up the tutorials for it.

Ofcourse SRT support for xvid/x264 would be best.

Please, it´s very important.
Subtitles……NOW,

outcelgeist  |  March 19th, 2010 at 7:22 am

As much as I want them, I doubt we’ll get .srt and .sub file support any time soon. Most of the time they come with films that are downloaded via torrent trackers and considering Sony is also part of the film industry… it might be a little fishy.

Then again, there are cases like Kirkpad’s in which Sony could be understanding.

If we do end up getting subtitle support, I’ll be able to get rid of my Western Digital HDTV Media Player and just hook my 1TB external hard drive to my PS3.

Outcelgeist, you do realize that the vast majority of movies using the DIVX/XVID codec are pirated, right? Despite this, Sony still supports playing those formats because there IS a demand for it, and there ARE people out there that rip their DVD collections to that format. This would just add to the ability to watch your DVD collection without needing to pop in an actual disc if you wand subtitles.

outcelgeist  |  March 19th, 2010 at 6:52 pm

I know, I keep forgetting that the PS3 has DIVX support.

I guess we’ll see.

habehandy  |  March 20th, 2010 at 6:53 pm

Support for DVB Subtitles (MPEG-TS files) would be nice

Kama-sama  |  March 22nd, 2010 at 1:27 am

Support for SSA/ASS subtitles would be great too.

KiNgKH  |  March 22nd, 2010 at 7:21 pm

SRT Files

Swimon  |  March 24th, 2010 at 12:18 pm

SRT-support, now!

programs like PS3 Mediaserver or AviAddXSubs are just not practical. I just want to connect my external USB HDD to my PS3 and watch some movies without having to convert them manually…

Shouwer  |  April 6th, 2010 at 6:59 pm

I totally agree with swimon. I just want to conect my external disk and play directly, no fuss, no hassles. The hardware is there, please create proper software.

thks in advance!

FJ1100_rider  |  April 27th, 2010 at 1:32 pm

for pirated videos it isn’t likely . for those you create yourself you have options – either do hard subs and forget about a subtitle file extension – or put on dvd with optional subtitles – the software to do either one is available .

Vulcao  |  July 11th, 2010 at 12:35 pm

It would be nice to have also options to edit the subtitles, such as sync, size and color, increase or decrease the duration of each speech etc.

Apprendice  |  July 20th, 2010 at 7:00 pm

This is needed BADLY

SukiNihon  |  August 23rd, 2010 at 3:48 am

PSP needs this too!

MentulamCaco  |  October 3rd, 2010 at 11:25 am

Google ‘AVIAddSubs’.

cricfan321  |  October 20th, 2010 at 10:05 pm

Add it NOW !!

networkmann  |  January 18th, 2011 at 2:07 pm

Common sense…

MHattab  |  February 26th, 2011 at 5:13 pm

Any official update from Sony on this subject?
SRT support NOW.

MHattab  |  February 26th, 2011 at 5:14 pm

or response?

rabbidthesbian  |  March 2nd, 2011 at 10:48 am

srt support would make my life so much easier! please add it and bring the ps3 one step closer to doing what it claims…everything!

euromaluco  |  September 20th, 2011 at 8:04 am

C’mon Sony, any media player can do that…Even your DVD players can do that…
At least give us a reason not to hope this feature will ever exist!
