MKV

[pikolo]

hi, don't know if this is the right place to ask this... but... 
does somebody know why when I  take screenshots there is no sub on them when the played file is .mkv
when I take screenshots and the file is .mp4, .avi etc. the subs are visible
This is the case whit all my players KMPlayer, MP Clasic.......

MP4s and AVIs usually have the subs hardsubbed so they are part of the video (i.e. can't be turned off). MKV uses soft subs. You need to have a subtitle renderer that works with the screenshot function to keep the subtitle on screen when the screenshot is taken.

And for idiots like me, can you explain me a little more or much more?

Read the Wiki. Search for "playback."

I'd rather search for "screenshots".

In MPC all you have to do is: (menu) View -> Options
then choose: Playback -> Output
and then in that section choose something in the
DirectShow Video List Box that gives you a green
tick for Screenshot and Subtitles (Haali works nicely).
I think. Works for me at least =)
