Subtitles .srt files   [forward as email]
i downloaded an srt file (subtitles) for babel cos its all in a foreign language and it seems axxo uploaded it. i'v never seen any of axxos uploads in a foreign language so i always assumed axxo was english speaking. yet once burned film with subs it turned out to be in dutch or flemish or summat (who knows?) i can get the gist of it cos its similar to german but even my german is not that good and id rather watch it wiv english subs is it possible i did summat wrong (i did select english as the default/preferred language in the converters menu b4 dl'ing) or was the upload just in another language?

thanx!

I'm not sure if you meant the subs only or the audio was not in english but I do know you have to make sure both dub and sub are set correctly before you convert each movie. Program "defaults" of english in both or either may not work as automatically as one may assume.

In other words, you still have to set them manually every time even though whatever software you were using may offer you settings you may assume will work with every movie you put in to it.

This applies to media players too. Auto detection of alternate languages doesn't always work.
