Please, advice me videoplayer with next functionality:

2) subtitles switching & turning on/off

Hi icegood.

VLC and SMplayer can do that, and more. They are very good media players, and both are available on the Software Center.

Regards.

I second SMPlayer. It displays drop-down boxes at the top of the video window to choose audio and subtitle tracks. It's also compatible with both the standard mplayer binaries and the recent mplayer2 fork.

SMPlayer also has a Windows port if support for multiple platforms matters to you.

VLC can do almost anything, including this, but gnome-mplayer is a bit lighter (albeit with less streaming functions... that you probably don't need). I haven't tried SMplayer, but it should have the same functions as gnome-mplayer.

Per my point of view, SMPlayer is the best choise for you!

SMPlayer is a fine gui and front end for MPlayer but I believe that time spent learning the many, many commandline options for MPlayer itself will be time well spent.
