Notes
To turn off captions and subtitles, on the Play menu, click Captions and Subtitles, and then click Off.
If captions and subtitles is turned on, captions and subtitles appear automatically when when you play a Windows Media file or DVD that contains caption or subtitle information. Not all Windows Media files and DVDs contain caption or subtitle information.
If available, subtitles appear on top of DVD videos and captions appear below Windows Media videos. Subtitles and captions cannot be displayed at the same time. Player performance may degrade when displaying subtitles or captions on computers with limited video memory.
If the Windows accessibility feature ShowSounds is turned on, the Windows Media Player captions and subtitles feature is turned on by default.
