DivX subtitle files
Srt format subtitle files with the extension ".srt" can be used.
Only one subtitle file can be used for each DivX file. Multiple
subtitle files cannot be associated.
Subtitle files that are named with the same character string
as the DivX file before the extension are associated with the
DivX file. The character strings before the extension must be
exactly the same. However, if there is only one DivX file and
one subtitle file in a single folder, the files are associated
even if the file names are not the same.
The subtitle file must be stored in the same folder as the
DivX file.
Up to 255 subtitle files may be used. Any more subtitle files
will not be recognised.
Up to 64 characters can be used for the name of the subtitle
file, including the extension. If more than 64 characters
are used for the file name, the subtitle file may not be
recognised.
The character code for the subtitle file should comply with
ISO-8859-1. Using characters other than ISO-8859-1 may
cause the characters to be displayed incorrectly.
The subtitles may not be displayed correctly if the displayed
characters in the subtitle file include control code.
For materials that use a high transfer rate, the subtitles and
video may not be completely synchronised.
If multiple subtitles are programed to display within a very
short time frame, such as 0.1 seconds, the subtitles may not
be displayed at the correct time.
