I don't know what subtitle formats Windows Media Player supports by
default but if you install ffdshow it will display .srt format.
You should be able to convert your mpsub to .srt with
mplayer movie.avi -sub text.sub -dumpsrtsub
This will produce dumpsub.srt. Rename it to movie.srt and distribute it
with movie.avi.
