Ive downloaded some codecs packs that allow me to play .mkv files on
media player but while im listening to movies in english im getting
english subtitles which is extremly annoying, im pretty sure other
player have the ability to turn the subs off, i here bs player might be
able to but theres the advertisments that go with it so it out of the
question. So my question is can you turn the subs off using windows
media player or get them to play using something like Divx?

Here goes a subtitles class.
Subtitles can be embedded in the video file or be in a separate text file.
1st option
If the subtitle is embedded in the video file, there is no way to remove it
during playback.
2nd option
If the subtitle is on a separate file it should have the same name like the
video file but a different extension, like "srt" or "dub"
Rename the subtitle to something else (change the extension to whatever you
like) and you will have no subtitles during playback
3rd option
As you have installed many codecs it is quite possible that you have ffdshow.
Disable subtitles in its video configurations and it will no longer provide
the subtitling services to the movies.
Hope this helps.

MKV files often have the subtitles as a seperate stream in the file. I
don't know what you installed to play them. If you installed the Matroska
Pack (which I believe is the "official" solution), you get an icon in the
system tray during playback that you can right-click to get options,
including turning off the subtitles.

thx for answering, so simple im embarrased i asked oh well

Thanks.

I'm quite fond of the MKV format. As far as I can tell, AVI files typically
have one video and one audio stream. MKV files allow for multiple video and
audio streams, as well as subtitle streams. You can only have one stream of
each type "active" at once, but you can switch at any time by right-clicking
the system tray icon. So, this makes it a good format for things like
videos with audio tracks in different languages.

MKVToolNix is a free utility (or set of utilities?) that you can use to
build MKVs from a number of other formats, and you can also use it to do
things like choose the default stream of each type.
