1. You shouldn't have it anyway (can't you pay $5 to see it and/or just wait 5 months for it on DVD?)
2. Well, ignoring that, this is probably with Spanish subtitles because they haven't dubbed a Spanish version of 300 for general release (it'll be there for DVD!) and so they hard copy them on. There really isn't nay way to get rid of them, unless you go through frame-by-frame...

EDIT: Oh, and I believe BF2S takes a hard stance against illegal copyright infringement, so an administrator should be along soon to delete this thread, I think!

In your explorer window where the movie is located switch the view to details.

Researching here can save you the hassle in the future. http://www.vcdquality.com/index.php?gen … string=300 . Pretty much every release has a forum topic discussing the quality (comments on the far right). Obviously the nuked ones are junk.

Oh, don't go and preach to me about that. It just seemed to me that you would most likely be in the US...
I'm in the UK too, and it really isn't such a problem just to wait until Friday!
Global launches are annoying and never really work. A staggered launch is fine and the anticipation of such a great film is what makes it so great. You're just spoiling an already fragile industry - I guess you download music illegally, too? Get some morals, and pay for at least half of the stuff dammit. Otherwise, if we all followed your 'right' path, then we would have no great films...
So please - just wait until Friday and go and see it! It really isn't that hard to wait...

lol well to late about waiting to friday as i already have the film, and i would think that 90% of the population who download music download it illegaly i.e. limewire torrents etc. i dont see the point in paying for music when i can get it for free and pretty much guarantee not getting caught

If that's your only reason please, when Spiralfrog (and later, QTrax) is released - go legal for free. Please!

There are ways you could do it. It's easy if they are soft subs, of which there are numerous formats. The easiest type of soft subs to remove are .srt subs - just delete the .srt file, certain video codecs (ogg for example) provide their own support for subtitles, either on a seperate file or embedded into the video file itself, in which case the codec will include a tool for turning the subs on or off.

It sounds most likely that the subtitles on the file you have (which is probably xvid encoded in an avi wrapper - it's not MPEG layer 3, since that is a purely audio format - MP3) are properly hard coded, i.e. are a part of the video signal. It is rather tricky to remove these type of subs. It can be done sort of, but to get it right requires time, patience and skill. To do so you can use programs which blur out the subs, much like many release groups use to remove watermarks and channel logos. I don't suggest doing this. It would be easier to find another release, in any case telesyncs tend to be crap.

I have nothing against downloading stuff and I do it often but a movie such as 300, that is visually stunning SHOULD NOT be watched on a crappy CAM copy. Dude its honestly better to wait as long as it takes to watch it with proper quality, in cinema or at home. I would rather spend 2 hours watching the trailer over and over again, than crappy CAM copy. You wont see a thing and probably wont hear half of the audio.
Release date for UK is 23 March but if you don't want to pay for it than give it some time and wait for a screener.
