How to show up Subtitles in Zoom Player?

Zoom Player is the most Powerful, Flexible and Customizable DVD and Media Player for the Windows PC platform. Using this powerful Smart Play technology, more image, audio and video media formats play with less hassle, increased stability and better performance.

How do I make subtitles show up with Zoom Player?

To enable subtitles in Zoom Player, you need to install a subtitle filter called "DirectVobSub".

You must make sure you have the latest version installed as certain subtitle files won't load if the latest version isn't installed. Also, the subtitle files need to share the same base name as the media file you are trying to play.

Example:
myvideo.avi
myvideo.sub

If you have Zoom Player set to automatically set a specific subtitle track (Advanced Options / Playback), and the specified track is not found, subtitles may get disabled and you will have to enable it (Ctrl+"B").

DirectVobSub (VSFilter)

DirectVobSub is a Subtitling component that integrates into Zoom Player, allowing it to display internal/external media file subtitles. This is an integral component and its installation is highly recommended.

Once installed, playing a movie with external subtitles (every format) is possible. Pressing ALT+"S" with a video loaded should open up the DirectVobSub subtitle interface.

How do I make Zoom Player my Default Player?

Open the Options Dialog, go to the File Association page. You will see a list of file extensions, each extension represents a file format. The most popular media formats are AVI, MPG and WMV, but you can pick any extension on the list and then press on the "Apply" button to Associate Zoom Player with these file types.

Once associated, the selected file types launched from within Explorer or any other file manager will then call upon Zoom Player to play the file.
