Hello
Not sure if this is the correct forum, but here goes. I have a Topfield 5810 PVR. As it is getting full, I've moved a lot of .rec files, which play on the 5810 fine without subtitles, to a ReadyNAS which then streams them to the screen via an Apple TV running XBMC. When XBMC plays the .rec files, they appear with subtitles. When I view them on my Mac, e.g. with VLC, the subtitles don't appear. I cannot see an XBMC option which would get rid of the titles.
The files were manually transferred over USB to a laptop using MacTF, and then put on the server via the network.
I would be very grateful for any ideas how to fix this. I am aware that it is possible to get round it by re-encoding them as e.g. .mpg but I wondered if there is some setting somewhere to fix it.
