    When watching movies/animes on Windows Media Player, that have subs, how do you do to disable them? Is there a easy way?

    Do most of your videos have a .sub file? or something similar?
    Move your video file so that it stands alone in a folder (or remove all other files) and it will get rid of it.

    I find that Windows Media Player sucks for videos, so I use Media Player Classic instead.

    Provided the video in question uses softsubs and not hardsubs, you should be able to enable/disable them via the menu bar at the top: Play -> Lyrics, Captions and Subtitles.

    For me, though, subs seem to be disabled by default, and even when enabled they aren't displayed or something. Like I said, WMP sucks for videos.

    nah my videos are just 1 file

    I have no idea what's hardsubs, and I use MPC for MKVs only
    and the way you showed me doesn't work cause the subtitle button is gray

    EDIT
    I clicked off, but it's still playing with subs

    Hardsubbed videos have the subs encoded directly onto the video stream. Softsubs have their own separate stream, and thus can be enabled/disabled at will.

    For MPC, go to Navigate -> Subtitle Language. You can then select your desired subtitle stream (if softsubbed) or disable subs altogether.

    EDIT: Okay, WMP can play subs if they're enabled by default, but it still doesn't seem to want to disable them =/

    MPC is the way to go.
