What kind of subtitles you have? external srt or muxed in the mkv stream? Pressing 'T' toggles subtitle.

They could be hardcoded into your file. Have you tried other files? Does it happen for all files?
As mentioned above, if they're external and just in the folder for the specific move/show, remove them and see if that helps.
Or if they're encoded into the MKV, use something like MKV Merge to remove them.
Otherwise they may be hardcoded into the file...some releases do that.

The subtitles can be turned off on a regular DVD player. This is happening with all files, whether it is a DVD or a ripped file.

Please post the output of mediainfo in relation to a file that exhibits this behaviour.

I am having the same issue, all my ripped DVD's - can't turn off subtitles and the settings says none. New to XBMC was trying to move from Media Browser but this is a show stopper for me :-(

How are they ripped? mkv? iso? vob? What version of XBMC? what does mediainfo tell you? (is it so hard to give meaningful data when posting a question?)

The movies are ripped using either DVDFAB 9, to .avi, or in some cases ripped with Handbrake to mpeg4. Some are saved as ISO as well, but in all cases the subtitles will not turn off.
My system is running Win7 pro 64 Bit. Nothing too fancy, 16Gb mem 2TB HDD+ 500GB HDD+ 120 GB SSD for OS

According to that mediainfo dump there is no softsubs in that movie. So unless the movie have external subtitles in the same directory or a subdirectory it has hardsubs, meaning the subtitles are part of the image and can't be turned off.

When I watch the movie in a DVD player, I can choose what to do with the subs....
