Disable Subtitles in MKV Files

Certain MKV video files automatically display subtitles in Windows Media Player, VLC Media Player, and Media Player Classic. If you carefully notice, there are actually 2 subtitles being displayed, one large and behind it, another one very small. Procedures to disable the subtitles are below.

Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic: To remove or disable the unwanted subtitles, simply disabling it within the media player does nothing.

Go to the Codec folder Start>All Programs>eg CCCP or K-Lite>Filters
Select VSFilter Configuration
Click on the General tab
Select Do Not Load in the Loading section
Click OK

Go to the Codec folder Start>All Programs>eg CCCP or K-Lite>Filters
Select FFDShow Video Decoder Configuration
Click on the Subtitles box on the left sided menu to uncheck/deselect/disable Subtitles
Click OK

VLC Media Player: Do the 2 above procedures and within VLC Media Player, while playing each MKV video, right click on the video and select Subtitle Track>Disable
