[is so delicious]

Hey guys,

My girl and I used to watch movies we'd download at wedisk.co.kr. But I got a new computer with English windows, and now the subtitles don't show up in Korean (just OOOOO).

Can someone tell me how I can download whatever is needed to watch these movies? I think it's a... coda? Or something? Any websites and moron-friendly directions will be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Maybe you need the Asian Languages pack for Windows installed?

Install gomplayer, movies should play fine with korean subtitles.

I use VLC media player - plays most any format and will allow external subtitle files.
Get it at www.videolan.org

For the subtitles themselves, I go to http://gom.gomtv.com/jmdb/noResult.html
and download the ones that match the movie I want to watch. It's rare not to
find them, but it does happen. When it does, I can usually find another version
and wickey them up using any of various (free) subtitle editor programs

kmplayer is the best.

I actually like gomplayer from gomtv - it can do the searching and automatically loading of subtitles for you.

But since it only runs on windoze I don't use it very often. I'm a Linux geek

Yes it's the language pack that you need. If you have an original xp cd, or any xp cd for that matter, it should have the langauge pack on it...

If you dont have the cd Im sure you can find something on the microsft page.

depending on the program you're using, you might need to change the unicode fallback language to Korean as well. I need to do that if I want to use media player, but since I have to do that for a few korean games which don't have their fonts done properly, its no big deal.
