How To Load Subtitles in TCPMP

First of all we will need a TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player) - an open source pocket media player. I've used this software with Palm Treo 650, Treo 750v and now O2 XDA Exec and definitely is the best Media Player available out there.

For be able to use subtitle plugin, you should use GAPI / GDI video driver AND and SAMI subtitle script (.smi files extension). While most of the subtitles out there are using .srt, don't take it as a problem. There is a work around for this issue. Download subtitles studio here and simply open the srt file and save it as smi file.

Besides using SMI file, there is also a more complex way to add subtitles for your mobile phone movies. You could use PocketDivXEncoder. Using this, we could also resize the Movies to fit smaller screen and embedding the subtitles on the process. This takes much time so I seldom using this way. Because with O2 XDA Exec and its VGA screen I don't need a smaller movie. :p

Now you could use TCPMP for watching your favourite movies plus subtitles. Subtitles is always being a help when I'm not bringing any earphones with me I could still watch movies in the crowd.
