This has twoissues: subtitles are not found, since their short name does not relateexactly to the short name of the movie, plus I think Vista no longercreates short names by default._______________________________________________MPlayer-users mailing listMPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
