How to watch movies and videos with subtitles on Windows Media Player
Often users have to install another codec or video player software on Windows to view the subtitle videos. However, with Windows Media Player, it may have changed a bit.

If your computer does not already have Windows Media Player, download Windows Media Player to your computer and install it here.
Note : Windows Media Player is not available on Windows RT.
First, you need to have a Subtitles file of the video you have run RIP from DVD to computer (in .AVI format). You can find and download them on Subtitles sharing sites like SubtitleHub or Subscene .
After having 2 components including video file (in .AVI format) and 1 Subtitles file (usually in .SRT format). We put them together and contain them in a separate folder, then name these two files the same, only different extensions.
Now open the video file to Windows Media Player by right-clicking on it and selecting Play with Windows Media Player.
On the Windows Media Player interface , right-click it and select Play> Lyrics, captions, and subtitles> On if available.
Next, install the DirectVobSub add-on for Windows Media Player to optimize the display of Subtitles. After installing, go to the folder containing the video files and Subtitles earlier, right-click on the Subtitles file and change '.srt' to '.sub'.
It's done now, turn off and re-open the video with Windows Media Player to enjoy it.
