Abstract

The invention relates playing back video with subtitles. A playback apparatus (20) is provided for playback of video data (e.g. in DivX-format) and corresponding subtitle data files from a record carrier. The one or more subtitle data files may be stored on the carrier without language metadata of the subtitles. The apparatus comprises units operable to access the one or more subtitle data files on the associated record carrier, fetch a content sample (21-26) of the subtitle data files, and output to a display unit (3) a signal representing the fetched content samples. The user may then select one of the content samples and thus identify the desired subtitle file to be reproduced.
