There could be a problem with Thai fonts. I can't immediately see Angsana or any other "Thai" font on my computer, for example.

Glad you've done it with Nero, but VobSub/FFDshow is a better solution imo 'cos these are codecs used by your system and so should be available to any player. VLC has its own set of codecs, including Subtitle codec, and it's a potential pain in the ass to sort out settings for each player or try to help others to sort their player unique problems. I have a dozen of video players already and I'm not going to download Nero player just to watch Thai subtitles, or BS player, or Kplayer, or whatever. Fixing VLC makes sense only because every downloader has it just like everyone has WIMP.
