Please post the FFmpeg information on the AVI file that does not display subtitles. To do this, right-click on the file in Mezzmo and click 'Get FFmpeg Information'. Then, post the FFmpeg information on an AVI file that does display subtitles (you previously mentioned that you do have subtitles working for some AVI files). We should see the difference in the two AVI files and that should provide a good hint as to why you are having problems with a particular AVI file.

thanks

Thanks for the FFmpeg information. The AVI file that is not working does have an extra audio stream (Stream #0:2: Audio: pcm_s16le). Please try removing this audio stream from the AVI file using one of your video tools and see if your Panasonic Viera TV will display the external subtitles now. Also, in Mezzmo, right-click on the AVI file and click 'Properties'. Go to the Transcoding tab in the Properties dialog and delete any transcoded files so that we make sure the AVI is delivered to your TV and not a transcoded file.
