In the condition we have subtitle file format.srt, how to add it to default video player of windows 8? If it's only counting on closed caption, then it's the same of directing user to install another video player such as DivX, etc. Microsoft has also removed the ability for Windows 8 to play DVDs unless you are running Windows 8 Pro or have added the Media Center Pack - both of which cost money. However, by installing VLC.

Testimonials
Great for opening mpeg, mp4 and avi. I’ve also noticed you can also play DVDs really easily. Would recommend Win8 DVD Player for playing any video file and any random audio files like FLAC or AIFF.
Jake Wilkinson, Manchester — United Kingdom
It opens the ever popular MKV (Matroska) for your HD files, and also MP4 files that iTunes seems to love. I’ve also used it from RAM and QuickTime files.
