How to watch movies with subtitles?

…so you’ve downloaded subtitles for movies from one of the best subtitle site opensubtitles.org and…

To be honest, everyday I’m receiving one or more requests asking:

how to see subtitles,
how to open subtitles,
how do i see my movie on phone with subtitles i downloaded,
how to watch movies with subtitles,
how to use subtitles,
guide using movie subtitles,
how to display subtitles,
how to add movie subtitles…

After many replies I get bored and decided write mini how-to guide:

1. watch this video:

2. download GOOD video player:

And that’s all. As you can see, it is really easy, everything you have to do is rename subtitle file according movie file. So if you have “movie.avi” your subtitles must be located in same directory and renamed to “movie.srt”. Now open movie in your favourite video player and enjoy!

Tip: if you like to watch movie with 2 subtitles (switch them in video player), let’s say english and dutch, you just have to rename subtitle files like:

  • movie.en.srt
  • movie.nl.srt

Of course there exists millions ways how to watch subtitles, but this how-to is for begginers.

UPDATE: Many users are asking how they can add subtitles to DVD and watch in standalone DVD player – here is the link for the best software –  in this area (I am not only promoting something what I didn’t try, I was absolutely happy with this software) – try it here. They support every common format of subtitles, and also sub/idx files…Here is really nice guide for beginners.

  1. My question might sound silly but I’ll try anyway: for most movies i can only found srt files named cd1/cd2. Now, my movies r often made of a single divx file, meaning the subtitles (‘cd1’) will stop halfway through it. I’m using VLC and i can’t find any way to have the ‘cd2’ file to start from halfway through the file. Any solution to this issue, pls? Did I make myself any clear at all? I hope so…

    1. get subtitles workshop 251..
      find join subtitles… follow the instrucions in HELP…
      It worked fine for me..
      Luck!!

    2. When I feel the need, I use Aegisub to slide forward the subtitles in the CD2.srt file… it takes more or less a minute.

      Then, you can decide to keep the two separated, or try to merge the files in one (.srt are, really, plain text files with the format

      Index
      thimestart->timened
      text
      [blank line]

      ) with notepad, open the merged files witha AEGIS and re-save the srt (it fixes the indexes,m avoiding dupicates… most player do not care for indexes and only look at the times).

      Beware… Aegisub saves, by default, using the UTF-8 character set.

      Some cheap stand-alone players (like mine) expect ASCII or, at best, WINDOWS-1250 characters. You may be forced to reopen the subs with notepad and save using ANSI (or find a way to get AegiSub to save directly in ANSI).
      It becomes a bit complicated when you find only subtitles for a version of the movie with a different framerate, but in Aegis it can be done that too (export subtitles changing the framerate).

  2. What i often do is
    a) open the srt file 2, select the content, copy and close.
    b) open the srt file 1, click at the END of it, paste and SAVE.
    c) Rename the file. (Example: If the video is movie,avi , your subtitle should be movie.srt (No number) )

    That’s all.
    Good luck.

  4. Thank you for your help but i’m a bit lost: what about the synchronization? I mean, cd2 sub file will start at 00:00:01 or whatever, so how is it gonna time out halfway through the divx file?

  5. To Arale: try to find subtitle marked 1CD instead of CD1 and CD2 – (You cannot copy and paste SRT files – the time and numbering are not correct).
    Use “Magic Sub Edit” version 0.70 wich allow you to sync the sub with the film- This program is an extended Vobsub. If you use AVIDVDburner for making DVD’s then you can merge more AVI’s and SRT’s ( Movie1.avi and movie2.srt – and movie2.avi and movie2.srt can be converted to one DVD and plays that way.
    Good luck and greetings from Belgium

    1. Please help – Downloaded subs called 1cd which comes as a pdf .
      Using VLC how do I get this to work ?

      Many thanks

  6. i am trying to put the subtitles on pirates of the caribean worl ends, i did what was on the video, but it wont show :/

  7. Is there a way I can embed the SRT file into the movie file and then burn it to a DVD so the subtitles can be read when watched on a DVD player or TV?

  8. I was wondering if someone knows how to view the subtitles using your xbox 360 because I can’t do it that way and I’m talking about watching avi movies in the 360 not dvds

  9. Trevor there’s a very good program that I use is call convertXtoDvd you can put an avi as many subs you want, create a menu,convert it to dvd and burn it into a dvd

  10. I was wondering if I could use multiple subtitles (like english and dutch) in this way

    My divxplayer will recognize the srt with the same name as the movie. Just wondering if there’s a way to use 2 different ones…

  11. Ed: I am not aware, if on xbox 360 is possible watch movie with text subtitles. On XBOX (old) we have the best media center – XBMC (use google:)
    Tony: it is possible, just do following: rename subtitles.srt to subtitles.en.srt and subtitles.nl.srt
    I will write this to article.

  12. HELP ME PLS I try to copy and paste 2 sub files into 1 but it failed as the timing does not connects. SO file 1 is 0-49 min and file 2 is 0-1hr 4minutes which is CD1 and Cd2 sub. HOW to combine them? Rewrite every timing????

  13. hi,

    can you recommend a good application for MAC to convert divx files to DVD that CAN include the subtitles?

    than you so much,

    LM

  14. is there a way that i can embed the srt file into the divx file and have be one so that i can make a data cd. so that when i am watching the movie the subtitles are there for it. i downloaded The Kingdom from fxg and the subtitles were there in the movie. i had this same problem with Eastern Promises and Pans Labyrinth.

  15. With VLC media player I didn’t have to rename the downloaded subtitles file or put it in the same folder as the movie. I downloaded subtitles as WinRAR zip files, extracted the file and just put .srt on the end of the extracted file. With VLC just use file – open file and you you will see a browse function which you can use to search for the movie file and which can be on your PC or on a DVD and below you will see subtitle options. Put a tick in the box and click on settings and you can then use the browse function for the subtitles file.

  16. @jeremy, you can only do it with a Matroska muxer and your movie’s extension will be .mkv . Download MKVtoolnix, its easy to use, you can add multiple subtiltes, audios, merge or split files.
    @WATEVER, use Subtilte Workshop, free and easy to use. You can join subtitles with that, and correct time codes easily or you can use BSPlayer Subtitle Editor. Synchronize both subtitles to your film and copy and paste the second to the first one.

  17. Well.. Im having a big broplem… I dont have/I cant download ( I dont know why!) java player so I cant watch any videos.. so im in trouble cuz I dont know how to use subtitles and there aint no way to get that info.. so could anyone help me??
    If you cant help me I’ll just find my brothers friend and drag him here to take care of things… 😀

  18. I download Persepolis, then downloaded the subtitles. I have a Mac and use MPlayer for this video. The subtitles aren’t showing up. Why is that?

  19. To Watever:you can’t copy and paste 2 subtitles files to make one.( I suppose you work with a PC and not a Mac) Use Sub MAGIC Editer ( I do) with this program you can open the first SRT sub file and then APPEND the second SRT file and it works.You can also sync the timing with the AVI film and change it if necessary.Program is 2.4Mb version 0.7 and it works 5 times better than Vobsub.
    Success! Johnvana

  20. well, I downloaded dr. Strangelove estonian subtitled, and what I got was a .txt format file, no srt or something, I even tried to rename it but nothing, my videoplayer dont find it. I’m using TOTEM

  28. Hi,

    Is there somebody who knows if it s possible to read a normal DVD (not divX) and put the subtittles.
    We just got “pride and prejudice” in DVD but there is no subtittles and there english is kind of hard to follow.
    Do you know how i can do?
    Thanks.

  29. I transfer/convert all avi to mpeg2 format for dvd. Can anyone tell me how can I get the subtitles as well?

    Thanks 😀

  30. You can look on the internet for subtitles.Just search for subtitles and then download to the movie file.Subscene is one such site.You can then burn them with convertx.

  40. i’m trying it for hours!! it doesnt works
    ca somebody explain me in different steps what i have to do

  41. Hi,
    You can download this codec and enjoy your lovely Windows Media Player with any format you want. Just search in google “CCCP” and download it. It is about 6MB.

  42. I have tried to get it work with the movie “American Gangster” and Greek subtitles from http://subscene.com/American-Gangster/subtitles-69885.aspx

    subtitles show up but is not in Greek…..seem like “chinese” to me…like something with the encoding is wrong. Tried to use subs downloaded from else where ,same problem.Used English subs,shows up OK. Any ideas whats wrong? I hate my new Vista and am afraid that is something wrong with them…obviuosly am not a computer expert..
    I have used MPC and subdownloader, didnt find any Greek subs,I downloaded 2 different subs from 2 different websites…..and the subs show up as some kind of wrong unicode or encoding. Same thing when try to play with VLC. Please help me.

  43. okay. so i looked at the vid above which confused me more. and was playing around with it and somehow i got it.. hopefully this will help other people, but i downloaded the subtitle and saved it to desktop and put it in the same folder as the movie and opened vlc, clicked open file, browse. found the movie. and then clicked use a subtitle file, browse. found the subtitle location. and ok. so far its working

  44. I am hoping you know something about vobsubs submux?! Why is it that I can only successfully mux subtitles to avi files on some movies?? Sometimes after I hit mux it does nothing but save a 1 second file and I am doing the exact same thing and the same types of files as I do when it actually works and I can see that submux is working because all these numbers randomize where you hit mux. I am so frustrating because I have a few movies that I can not mux subtitles onto therefore I cannot convert them to dvd and watch them. I really hope that you can help me and would be very much appreciative.

  45. re:hoobastank: you can download them separately. search video name subtitles or go to one of the sites listed in other comments.

    re:yannis: you could try Jubler. it’s a free subtitle editing program in java (so it’s good for Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, etc.). It advertises that it supports every encoding supported by java, so you could open it in that and see if changing the encoding (save as) is what you need. Otherwise, the subs you downloaded may have just been mislabeled.

    re: deaconblues, paarth, harsha, etc: you can use the same program to easily shift subs as much time as you want till they’re in sync.
    re: theo rizos, jensen, etc: or to join or split subtitle files in two to match your video files.
    re: people still trying to use WMP: try VLC, some players just don’t support ‘soft’ subtitles.

  46. hello.

Can anybody help how to fix this? I’m know well how to put subtitles on a movie but this problem is out of my reach, can anybody suggets something? Thanks in advance.

  54. How can i delay a srt-subtitle file.

    Is there any command in the *.srt-file syntax?

    Perhaps exist a sommand like ” -00:00:40,000″
    or something else?

  55. In every forum I go to, people explain how to do this and that… and it’s always for PCs. Macs are different – and I can’t get certain subtitles to work.

    I use the VCL Player. If I play an .MKV film, with subtitles (which have the .ass extension), it works fine. If I play an .AVI film, with subtitles (which have the .sub extension), it works fine. BUT, if I play an .AVI film, with subtitles (which have the .srt extension), it does NOT work. In short, subtitles seem to work, EXCEPT for those with the .srt extension. Again, I’m using a Mac. Does anyone know what the problem is? I know how to use the VCL Player and open subtitles, but .srt does not work on the Mac version of VCL.

  56. hi. i use widows media player and real player. is it possible for me to watch a movie in either of these two players with subtitles? pease guide me. i m very new to this. if its not possible to watch the movie with subtitles, can i just download the movie script/ actual subtitles from any website in ms-word or .pdf format? anyone who can help me, please contact me at rave2go@nullyahoo.com. a million thanks!

  57. I can’t figure a way to attach the subtitle file, or, perhaps the right word is imbed the subtitle file into my avi movie.

    I can play any movie on my computer with subtitles -but I want to burn a Cd so I can watch the movie on my divx / cd / dvd / player that is attached to my TV

    I tried using Santa 4 but it didn’t work. It said it was going to include the subtitle and asked for its addition -but didn’t include it in the output file.

    Any ideas

    Please help. thanks

  60. Hi people.

    I have just downloaded “Anthony Zimmer” and the Anthony Zimmer subtitles file, and i have down everything thing the video had said (renamed the file so it matched the movie name exactly) but it does not seem to work…I have put them both into the same folder and opened the movie file with Vlc, but still no subtitles….plz can anyone help?

  61. For players I normally use the Gom Player, if you are having problems with subtitles at any given time, make sure it’s the correct format (.srt) and that it’s a written document.
    Also make sure the subtitles are the exact same name as the movie, or else your player will not pick it up and you will not get subtitles for your movies, also make sure they are both saved in the same folder.

    Make sure you’re using a proper player and have the right extensions to play the movie. Some times if I cannot play the movie it’s because I am missing certain codecs in which case I downloaded a full codec pack which helped with certain movies and subtitles. I also use FFDshow for extra codecs to play certain movies that will not play or work properly on my computer.

    But i have done everything that is in this little blog for the past few years and it has yet to fail me, i suggest looking into what your computer might be missing if you are having problems with playing subs and movies on your computer.

  62. Hi, thx for the reply…

    I’m pretty sure i have done everything correct, but im not quite sure what you mean by “and that it’s a written document.” Here’s a picture of the folder which contains, both the subtitles file and the Movie…Can you spot anything wrong with it?

    http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c260/stevepro1/Desktop.jpg

    Also, if that is correct, i’ll try downloading new codecs, can you possibly reccomend me somewhere in which i can download them?

    Thx in advance.

  63. What should I do if my sub aren’t in srt. but in txt.???
    Is there anything I can do???
    Btw, sub i downloaded from opensubtitles.org were in txt.

  64. Costel: I have been successful with converting of DVDR files (vobs) into avi format using both Divx and Xvid compression using AutoGK. In the past you had to learn 5 programs and was quite complicated. What AutoGK does is install and run these various programs for you. Turning the task into a one click soluction (much like using convertXtoDVD for the opposite direction). Note that converting a full movie takes 3-6 hours depending on the computer (where the the opposite convert using convertXtoDVD is 45 min – 1 1/2 hours). AutoGK is opensource. Do a google search for it and visit its forums if you have any questions.

  65. When I try adding Chinese subtitles to a movie, it shows up as a set of weird characters and not the actual chinese characters I’m hoping for. Is there something I didn’t do properly or another program I need? Will the same problem occur if I put it in a DVD player?

  66. i can”t figure it out .can you tell me step for step what to do for getting subtitels with my movie?

  67. I have done like ur mini intro shows, but i cant see the subs in my movie, please explain me better.

  68. i’m having probs with subtitles etc but mainly because vlc has installed in german. I get an option of languages, choose english, but still when i open a file with vlc the complete taskbar is in german. Any tips? cheers

  69. Thanks – got my subtitles working – a very useful guide for inexperienced users (like myself;-) on how to get these files associated with each other.

  70. I am using quick time to view movies in a MAC (OS X). I followed your directions for getting subtitles but they are not running with the movie. What can i do? Thanks for your help.

  71. Ok thats good but how i put subtitles at a tv show?i downloaded subtitles for heroes and there is a differend file for each episode how am gonna put the subtitles?????????????

  72. I have been trying to add English subs to the french flick “Hors de Prix” and even though I’ve changed the file names to be the same, it still doesn’t work. Is there a specific video program I need for this to work properly? It’s really frustrating…any help would be great. Thanks.

  73. Okay, I figured out that problem, so ignore my previous post. However, if I want to burn a DVD of that movie, can I do it so that the subtitles play automatically? How do you do that?

  74. Dear All,

    I am a new member in this site. Now, I got a problem that I cannot put the subtitle on the movie.

    Please advise how to put the subtitle on the movie?

    All of your help will be great.

    Thanks
    Nattaporn

  75. I follow the step in the “How to watch movie with subtitle?” guide above but doesn’t work out!

    Can some body help me? Do I miss any step?

    Do I have to burn to CD before adding subtitle?

    I’m new member, please help!

    Thanks a lot

  76. forgive me for being so stupid but i downloaded a film, then downloaded the subtitle, what now?!?!

    what is a srt file?

    do you have to put them both in a winRAR archive and wait for them to forget their differences. Please help me…

    everyone here seems to have gotten a hell of a lot further than me!!

  77. Hi all. I am very new to subs etc so please bear with me and hopefully it won’t hurt (me) too much. I downloaded the subs for War, changed the name to title of movie and I now have subs. YAY! BUT is there a way that the subs ONLY come up for the non-english speaking parts of the movie? I have them coming up even when it’s english speaking. No big deal I’m sure for many but I am one of those OCD and everything as you would know has to be perfect. Sorry if I sound like a pain or what I’m asking would be classed as menial.

  78. all you can do is download subs from another source and hope its set up how you want it. Most movies should come with automatic subs for non english parts(so just disable subs)

  79. your fucking subtitle bullshit sucks, its gives me the subtitles for the language I already fucking speak, when it comes to the language I don’t speak it’s 5 minutes fucking behind. Thanks for fucking nothing.

  80. Hi everyone! I am downloading DVD movies but I do not always find the subtitles for Spanish (my language)included in the DVD. Could you recommend a way to download those subtitles and tell me how to do in order to add them to the movie?
    Thanks!

  81. Hi, is it possible to watch a DVD and to have Web-downloaded subtitles attached to it? Do I have to rip the DVD to a file before?

  82. I’m having problems too. i downloaded the film, “3 needles” (.avi file), and was able to get a .srt subtitle work with my vlc player/mac version.

    PROBLEM:
    how come .idx files works [and is in synch] well with 3 needles?
    .srt files does not synch with the dialogues in 3 needles! it’ appears either late or too early before the dialogue. im using a mac. how do i solve this? i need english subs for 3 needles!

    PLEASE HELP! ='(

  83. I have a problem. I cant find a text file with is divided into 2CD

    So i copy and paste the 2nd part of the dvd subtitiles into a new notepad divide and saved as the title of the 2nd CD.

    But the subtitles does not appear for the i copied?

  84. Hi, I have read all the comments and tired all the suggestions but still unable to get the sub file working.

    There is a sub file but it just does not seem to work http://www.mininova.org/com/1096766

    The .avi file is in the same folder that has the .srt file and I renamed them to be the same. I am using VLC. It plays fine just no subs, could you shed any light on to what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks!! Lauren

  85. If you are using VLC, check Video > Subtitles Track > Track 1 is selected, its seems to be working with me.

  86. hey. to anyone who can help me and is bothered to open up this rapidshare link (i appreciate the help, if any). have a look at this first:
    http://rs320.rapidshare.com/files/117269443/fk.bmp

    that is the result of a movie i play in windows media player classic and real player. it is an avi file. in windows media player 11 it doesn’t even play.

    this only happens when there are subs in the folder. if the file is just on its own without srt files, it’s perfectly normal.
    if anyone knows what’s wrong and what i can do with this, please help!!! thanks so much peoples

  87. by the way, all the sub names are fine (the same as the movie) and the subs are displayed, it’s just screwed up on the player screen

  88. THE MOST SIMPLEST WAY TO PLAY A SUBTITLE FILE IN VLC PLAYER (One of the best players ever, plays almost any kind of file without any extra third party codecs, download it from here – http://www.videolan.org/) IS –

    > Go to the folder where the video file is present.
    > Right click on the file. Select ‘Open with’ option and under it VLC Player.
    > Once the video starts playing, just drag the .srt or any Subtitle file you have and drop it inside the VLC player that is playing the Movie. (Dragging means, right clicking the mouse button on .srt file, then without releasing the right click button pull the file into the VLC player and then release the right click button)

    This is the simplest way to do it. No need to rename the subtitle file into the movie name or even keep the subtitle file in the same directory as movie. Infact the movie can be in one folder and subtitle file in another with different names and it would still work.

    Comeon guys, now if you tell you aren’t able to still play the subtitle file then it would be insane. This is as simple as it can get. About out of sync subtitle files, you can use one of the softwares above and fix it, or the simplest way is find some other subtitle file. I’m sure you’ll find one that would sync to the movie you have 🙂

  89. this helped for the viewing part what about the burning part so I can view it on my dvd player cause there is times where I would head to a friends house and bringing a dvd is easier then a hardrive for them

  90. Hi, Can anyone help telling me how can I burn the movie on a DVD with the subtitles?
    Thankyouuuuuu

  91. Hi,
    is there a way to put subtitles bigger? When i watch the movie in the Divx player they look so small.

    Thanks a lot,

    Mara

  92. I have a 0.8.6f VLC player. I tried to rename the .srt same with the movie file. But when I played it in the VLC player it doesn’t work. Can you help me please.

  93. i have this movie and i know how to put subtitles but every subtitles i have tried is kind of wrong for that movie. all subtitles i have tried starts too early, you know. like that line what they say in that movie, has already been if you follow subtitles. i would like to have at least english subtitles, otherwise i dont understand very much about that movie.
    sorry, i dont know did i make my problem clear at all, i’m not very good in english.

  94. Thank YOU LUKE! I was blundering a bit cuz i cudnt figured it out, then this came up
    “With VLC media player I didn’t have to rename the downloaded subtitles file or put it in the same folder as the movie. I downloaded subtitles as WinRAR zip files, extracted the file and just put .srt on the end of the extracted file. With VLC just use file – open file and you you will see a browse function which you can use to search for the movie file and which can be on your PC or on a DVD and below you will see subtitle options. Put a tick in the box and click on settings and you can then use the browse function for the subtitles file.”
    I suggest to those who still dont get it, to use VLC. Simple as 1,2,3. Thank you also to the website for the subs and tutorial.

  95. When i have a mac and i have VLC player, why dose it not work? can someone tell me how to do it?

  96. I often download greek subs for my movies and on my pc work fine. But on a friend’s pc the greek subs appear as arabic,chinese etc and when i say “appear” i mean in every program i use for example bs player, gom player, windows player. Can you help me?

  97. I use mpc player with k-lite codec and it works just fine for me.
    1. Rename the subtitle exactly the same with the video name and add .srt at the end of the name (just copy & paste) even the file still in text document.
    2. Make sure they are in the same folder

    and u can watch your video with the sub.

    Thanks for the tips! Now I can watch La Femme Nikita with eng sub perfectly.

Mail me at theasyrider@nullgmail.com

  110. hi … this was great help thank u …everything worked great =) .. but the only problem is that i downloaded arabic subtitles but they show in wierd characters that need encoding … how can i encode them ??

    thank u again

  111. My question might sound silly but I’ll try anyway: for most movies i can only found srt files named cd1/cd2. Now, my movies r often made of a single divx file, meaning the subtitles (’cd1?) will stop halfway through it. I’m using VLC and i can’t find any way to have the ‘cd2? file to start from halfway through the file. Any solution to this issue, pls? Did I make myself any clear at all? I hope so…

  112. One stupid question.
    I have downloaded movie in .wmv format and this is not having any subtitles in it.
    How can watch movie in English subtitles?

  113. My question might sound silly but I’ll try anyway: for most movies i can only found srt files named cd1/cd2.

  114. The Subtittle must be in the (srt) format.
    at the same time SUBTITTLE name must be RANAMED as particuler films name.

  115. Hallo every body,
    Any one out there who know to merge subtitle into an avi movie and thereafter convert the movie to DVD ? I have ConvertxtoDVD program but can’t see any where I can add the srt file 🙁

  116. I can give u a good site which offers you to synchronize subtitles. The subs have to be in .srt format.
    http://www.allsubs.org/
    choose or synchronize subtitles to change the fps of the srt
    the différence (offet+/-) from the movie and transform a srt in .sub
    But if u choose 1=2 CD
    http://www.allsubs.org/synchronize_subtitles.php?view=cdconverter_index
    supposing u have only 1 movie and two 2 subs files
    u can enter the name of the first srt
    then the other u click to proceed and u have your srt joined on your hard disk.

    More simple i never found out. And it can resolve some synchronizations pbm either.

    I hope i’ve helped !

  117. @cuti ! yes putting srt files into DVD in convertx2DVD is possible, i have done it myself. Just wait i reinstall this proggy and i will tell u exactly what to do to have your subs incrusted in your movie ( u can even have a few languages…).
    Won’t be long !

  118. @cuti
    if u have the proggy convertX2dvd version 2 or 3
    and u put the movie and the subtitles in the same directory with naturrelly the same name as it s said 1,0000 times in the different posts
    when u choose the movie u will have the the subtitles and then u can not add them but delete them.
    remember : movie.avi
    movie.srt (or movie.sub and movie.idx )
    maybe if u didn’t came back it is because u finally found out !

    Mario, on January 8th, 2008 at 5:49 pm Said:
    What i often do is
    a) open the srt file 2, select the content, copy and close.
    b) open the srt file 1, click at the END of it, paste and SAVE.

    My question following: with what program I can open a filename extension “srt”, and then after editing to save again in an extension “srt”?
    I tried it to make by means of a notebook, but the file is saved in an extension “txt”, and its renaming in “srt” don’t give result.

  120. I tried to make it by means of a notebook, then to rename with extension “srt” but new file is not loaded as subtitles, unfortunately.

  121. Thanx alots guy ……… 🙂
    I have succeded in embeding subtitle into my DVD movie 🙂

    YOU ARE GREATTTTTTTTTTT

  122. I renamed the subtitle file to .SRT (as in the video) but when I open VLC the subtitles are ignored. If I open them manually using menu I have to set FPS of my movie to 25 and the delay to -60 to get them working but the only time the text changes is when the subtitles change – periods of no speech mean the previous subtitles stay on the screen all the time. What is wrong? (btw I have “Adams Aebler.avi” and “Adams Aebler.srt”)

  123. Ok so here is my problem. I have some anime vids I downloaded in Japanese with the subtitles as a option to select in say vlc player. but when I converted it to put on my psp the subtitles are not there. What can I do to fix this problem? Please help.

  124. I have also a problem with some movies..
    the subtitels are to late. I see them speaking, an about 5seconds later, the subtitles come..

    how can I fix this???

  125. Robin, you might just need to download some other srt file, i’ve had the same problem a few times, and i’ve fixed it by downloading different kinds of files and trying them out. some of them work perfectly, some of them.. not that good.

  126. @robin the movie and the .srt subtitle must have both the same fps (frame per second) look with Gspot (a freeware)the fps of your movie before downloading subtitles. And i already said that there are proggy where u can change the fps of your movie.
    Bsplayer does it !

  127. it’s sound hardest way but will result sweet thing ,
    You can add .SRT to your .avi file using virtualDUB and SRT converter to SSA file .You can download that file at afterdawn.com (maybe(it`s free too)) and you can get how to add srt file to your avi guide there too!!
    may be this is the link you need (or if not you can googling it first ):

    http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/adding_subs_to_avi.cfm

    (I recommend that you must download the latest virtual dub (maybe in opensourceforge))

    it s recomended that you’re movie.avi don’t have subtitle first or it’ll cross!

  128. This site helped me solve my problem, but for reference for others:
    I got VLC error “subtitle: failed to recognize subtitle type
    main: no suitable demux module for … [subtitle file pathname]”

    This error happened when I tried to load a *.sub file and a *.avi file both from the same CD rom folder, both named with the same names.

    If i use VLC’s File->Open command and explicitly tell it a valid *.srt file, it still gives me the same error.

    The solution was to copy the entire 700 meg avi file to my harddrive, and put the *.srt file next to it as described in the Howto above, ***and not have the problematic *.sub file next to the *.avi file***

    Good luck and thanks

  129. sorry 4 again asking the same i am unable to make the subtitle to work on with my movies.so early reply required

  130. is mediaplayer 11 a good player?? does it work with most srt files?
    Well I am asking because, I am running my movies in mediaplayer11, and some of srt files works great, but then again…some doesn’t…ex I downloaded the srt file to the mowie shutter and it should be the danish subtitles, well now when I am running the movie it’s english subtitles…what the…. I have tried this *movie*.da.srt and it does not comply?????

  131. this was a great help to solve my problem of viewing a movie with subtitle. It became a knowledge tank about this subject.I must thank first

    While searching through the net I found this illustration most usefull to embed subtitle in an AVI file. You can write it in a CD or DVD and watch it using anything which play the video

  132. Hi Guys, i changed the subtitle file name as “movie.srt” & then i opened the movie file in windows media player 11 & other movie players, but still i am not able to view the subtitles, does anybody know how to merge subtitle into an avi movie ????? PLZZZZZ i need ur help guys

  133. Hi Guys, i changed the subtitle file name as “movie.srt” & then i opened in VLC player, but i am getting an Error Msg

    ” Unrecognized format for ‘C:\Documents and Settings\Mohamed\My Documents\Downloads\Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na\Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.srt’

    Wat can be done ? help me

  134. Hey i need the english subtitles of the movie Riffa, la starring Monica bellucci. please can u help me to get it ……

  135. “We” people?

    We have Perian for Quicktime, mPlayer, VLC, Movist, Plex, XBMC and several others and they ALL play subtitles, same as “you PC people”.

    We somehow manage to not have issues. We know subtitles must be named the same as the movie. We know subtitles must be placed in the same place as the movie. Also the sames as “you PC people”.

    We also can deduct that if we have two subtitle files and only one movie file then we probably won’t be able to use that. In the end if a subtitle doesn’t work we can download another (using SubDownloader or others) or try to fix it. We can use Subs Factory or Jubler to fix it.

    I have followed the comments in this thread and I must say I’ve been surprised some people here even manage to start up their own PCs with some of the questions (and answers!).

    It’s amusing, as Mac users are generally considered to be “simpler” yet there are problems I see here I can’t even imagine hearing from a Mac user.

    Incidentally, I’m a Mac user who also uses Windows and Linux. I use Mac as a personal preference as I consider it the most balanced, useful and best-looking option of the three.

  136. eduo ++
    I just refused to answer of all of these questions, because it seems some people dont even know whats is text file 🙂 But on other side I am happy, there are 200 responses to this guide, I wish I have more time to make more guides.

  137. hey there

  139. All the srt file mentioned here is with …x srt and my problem is that which one to download. as many movies srt doesnot match with the voice while diplaying the subtitles.

  141. Hi everyone,

    What can I do to be able to read the Chinese subtitles in my movie? It just shows up as a bunch of wierd characters instead of the Chinese characters I was hoping.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  142. If you are having trouble with the delay when using subtitle u should set the delay/timing in the MPC (vobsub) or at VLC
    One thing u must know that the framerate also effect the subtitle.
    Go to the movie properties and find out the framerate, usually 25fps. if u have a different framerate it will also couse u an out of sync. hmm gonna make some tutorial ill post the link here if i had done it.

    http://depthart.org ~ a Sharing Community

  143. Small comment:

    framerate ONLY comes into play when dealing with “.SUB” subtitles. “.SRT” subtitles are not affected by framerate since they point to specific timemarkers in the video. The same is true for ASS and SSA subtitles.

  144. How do you get foreign subtitles to play? Im trying to get the japanese subtitles for rambo to play but it will not… does anyone know what is wrong? The srt and avi files are in the same directory. When i try to play the video, nothing will work in windows media player. The file plays in vlc player, but there are no japanese subtitles… any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  145. hey.. i try many time to watch the drama with eng sub..

    help me please!

  148. Hi,
    I am a Mac user. I downloaded two subtitles for a film, did what was told here and it works fine. BUT. How can I switch the subs off? The QuickTime player shows ‘off’ in the View/Subtitles menu item.
    Thankx for the help.

  149. ladamus: To be able to use Quicktime you must first download Perian (perian.org) and install it. Quicktime can’t see these subtitles without it (the menu item you mention is for something else I don’t have the patience to explain here).

    On the other hand you can just download VLC or Movist and use those to see movies with subtitles, as they have subtitle support built-in.

  150. Ladamus: As I mentioned, you’d really make yourself a favour if you used Movist or VLC. They truly are superior players for what you want to do. Perian enables subtitles but doesn’t integrate them in Quicktime’s Subtitle menus.

  151. it doesn’t work. i am using the new wmp and my OS is vista. i have renamed the srt file and changed it to the same name as the pb title but it just doesn’t work. how’s that ???

  152. i had this problem for the first time: when i copy the sub to the same folder with one of my movie file and change the sub file name according to the mov file… And when i opened the mov file, there was nothing on the window media screen, totally black. Then i deleted the sub, the mov played well.
    I dont get it

  153. I renamed my Arabic subtitle file as the movie name and it appears while I run my media player the only problem is that I get an unknown format like it is Chinese or something like that, does anybody know why?!

  154. Hi. my problem is i cant seen to open the file once its downloaded …it just comes as a blank file….my winrar works fine with other files…and i have tried with other extraction software…..any advice much appreciated…

  155. my movie doens’t play anymore once I put the subs with the movie.
    Without them the movie plays. It happens the most with Axxo and fxm their movies.
    Does anyone else have this problem?

  156. Jonas, I do have the exact same problem that you do. at least with Windows Media Player. I use VobSub, and the movie just won’t play if the subtitle is added. but it plays fine with the subtitle when I switch to Divx Player or BS Player.

    The other huge problem that I get is that it seems like when subtitle is added, certain movies have their audio affected. like either the sound becomes too inaudible, or it is distorted. Does that happen to you?

  157. Hello,
    help me please:
    1. I use MPC for watching downloded movies. I know how to watch them with subtitles when I’m connected to the internet but I don’t know how to save them together for burning on dvd for example.
    I didn’t understand the short explanation movie.

    2. I downloded Apocalypto and when I use the subtitles database it found me only polish subtitles.

    3. The MPC doesn’t read the hebrew subtitles proparly.

    What should I do ? Can you help me ??
    Thank you for help.

  158. Hi,

    I’m using VLC player to watch a complete season of a TV series and all the subs for each episode differ from the video. The video is a bit slower than the subs so it starts off nicely but little by little the subs keep appearing too early and by the end of the episode the subs have already appeared a minute before the actual lines.

    So far I have been correcting it with the “Advance of subtitles over video” function by changing it by like 5 seconds every minute. I’ve tried to use the “Speed of the subtitles” function but it doesn’t seem to have any effect on the speed of the subtitles. Am I doing it wrong or is there just no way adjust the speed? Also I haven’t been able to find a way to fasten the video by just a little so it could keep up with the subs.

    Any help would be much appreciated! 🙂

    I’d rented the CD of movie “Where Eagles Dare” some days back. Since I was unable to watch it instantly, I’d copied it and saved it on my PC. Now, I’ve it save in .dat format and want to watch it with English subtitles. Is there any way I can do it? If there is, please let me know ASAP. Thanks!!!

  186. Thanks for replying os but I’m yet not getting it. Can you please explain it in detail if at all you don’t mind?

    Once again, thanks loads for replying. You guys are really doing a great job.

  187. Ron, here is guide:
    1. copy .dat file to your hardrive (should be around 700 MB)
    2. rename .dat to .mpg
    3. add in same folder subtitles, so you will have movie.mpg and movie.srt (or .sub as subtitles)
    4. use guide as is written in article – just open mpg in media player classic and thats it.

    Of course you can open .dat in any good media player, it will recognize it is mpg1 (VCD) and you can attach subtitles then (subtitles -> browse for subtitles or something like that). Just give a try.

  188. jeoren: Media Player Classic can open IFO files (index files for vob files), so you open IFO, and then you attach subtitles, or just follow the guide.

  189. doing the renaming doesnt work on my vlc, i have a mac im not sure if thats the reason, i have to manually upload the sub file form the open file window. i have a question, can i edit the sub file? for correction purposes? i want toshow some moveis in spanish with spanish subtitles for a class and many times what its beeng said is not whats in the subs and thats annoying for me but confusing for the students.

  190. Hello

    I’ve downloaded the movie láventure cést l’aventure from mininova and the subtitles from this site. What should i do to burn a dvd with both(movie and srt subtitles

  191. Alejandro: it should work in mac also, I just tried it. Make sure you have latest version, movie.avi and movie.srt in one folder. Also you can edit subtitles, just open it in some text editor. If you want edit I use Subtitle Workshop, on windows, I am sure for mac also exists some nice program, just google “subtitles editor mac”

    Francisco: I wrote article about ConvertXtoDVD – they have some 20% off on their software, read here more: https://blog.opensubtitles.com/opensubtitlesorg/merry-xmas-with-year-stats

  192. alejandro: Renaming does work. If it doesn’t then it’s not being renamed properly. I use VLC all the time on my mac and have no issues, but you need to make sure the renaming is *EXACTLY* the same except for the extension (or the language andextension, like “.en.srt”) and you also need to make sure you enable the subtitles by going to the “Video” menu and selecting the subtitles (if the submenus in “Subtitles” are enabled, they would say “Track 1” or “Subtitle 1”, if there are subtitles available).

    As for editing subtitles you can use either Jubler or Subs Factory, in mac. There are others, but these work great.

  193. where can I find the Download Subtitle Workshop – I need it to find out how to synchronize any sub-titles that are out of sync.

  194. hello i tried today open subtitles for the first time, i found it amazing, but i have a problem, the movie is faster 5 sec than subtitles what can i do

  195. I’ve got a Windows Media Player. All fine searching for sub-titles with right speed matching dialogue delivery. Just couple of problems.

    1) Recently downloaded Ben Hur in two parts. Got the exact matching subs in SRT format. Problem is while CD2 plays well with subs on WMP, CD1 does not even start. Remove subs and all goes well. What seems the problem? Similarly, Curse of the Golden Flower, exact file names, subs matching, but the movie refuses to play with titles on. Remove subs from the folder or change the name and it plays, of course without subs.

    2) How do I make subs appear in my DivX enabled Philips DVD player? Subs just don’t get flash there. Nor are there any options to view them. How do I burn to have them played on my said DVD player?

  196. this is a great site
    where do we find the answers to some of the questions? i’m particularly looking to unscramble the chinese subtitles when i download. i see the same questions 2-3 times above but no reply.
    please advise
    i’m using windows vist, and windows media player.
    thanks!

  197. One fundamental piece of information is missing from this video: the names of the subtitle file and the movie need to be EXACTLY THE SAME for the player to automatically use the subtitle file.
    But thanks so much…couldn’t have figured this out without your help!!

  198. I tried to follow the same instructions as above. I use the VLC player. Strangely, the srt files didn’t work out for me but it was another kind of file named SUB file. Don’t know if anyone has heard of it. Anyway, is there a more detailed instruction? Like do you need to open the VLC first then go open file and click add subtitles or something? Cuz i tried lot’s of ways and it didn’t work out. Please help me out here. Thnx.

  199. HELP . . . HELP . . . HELP !
    What can I do to be able to read the Chinese subtitles (BIG5 or BG) in my movie? I am using VLC and MPC. It just shows up as a bunch of weird characters like machine codes or something instead of the Chinese characters I was hoping.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

  200. Ted,

    Use the latest version of VLC.

    Make sure the sub files (whatever format (.srt/.sub/.idx/etc) share the exact same name as the video (ex movie.avi and movie.sub) and that they are in the same folder together.

    Now play the video in VLC Player and click on ‘Video > Subtitle Track > and enable the track.

  201. Oh, and if you have .sub subtitle file you should also have an .idx subtitle file too. As far as i know they need to be together in the same folder and named the same as the video (ex: movie.mp4 and movie.sub & movie.idx) in order to work right.

  202. help! I made everything as is was written, but there are 3 green stripes on the film if i play it w subtitles. without subt its ok. with other subt, the same stripes come. why is it?

  203. hi there, i really need somebodys help….. every time i change the file name to srt then play the movie subtitles come up but in a complete different text…. its like a code text or something!! you can see that the subs are there buts its not even a language when it shows…. Help please????

  204. going through this lot gives me a headache,and we’ve got the same problem….mine is i want to put polish subs into the films that i download for the girlfriend(keeps her quiet) and then burn them straight on dvd, after reading most of these it seems like everyone watchs films on their pc/mac i just want to say that i DONT i just copy them straight to dvd and thats that,…reading more and peoples going on about srt’s cd 1 cd 2 but the movies im downloading hasnt got any of these files what so ever just an avi.

    thanks

  210. i’m watching a movie that is a dvd, the movie isn’t a file. is there a way to get the subtitles to work when its on a dvd?

  211. If you have a movie file such as avi, or rmvb type, and you have two srt file, the only way you can see both subtitles is to combine the two files together.

    If you open the file using word pad and you see that each subtitle line started with a sequence number, followed by a start-end time of that line. The time in each of the two srt files should be 95% identical.

    One can combine them by hand but this will take a few hous. The other is to write a program to combine the two files and this is what I have done.

    It works great.

  212. hello! i got a litle problem, am dowmloading subitles for police academy but synchronize (speech and title) are completly diferent with delay. ive try to download almopust 50 same titles and still am stuck. tell me pls is there any other way to correct that ??? and becides .srt can it be .sub . if you can pls send me answer to my mail draz87@nulllive.com am very gratidue for youre help thank you

  215. Hello developer,
    i usually download the movie in one web-site and download the subtitles in the other. the problem is (usually) that if i download them in different website they don’t sync and the subtitles often appear 2-5 seconds after they are suppose to, how do i delay the appears of the subtitles? and the opposite?
    Secondly, how do I name a few different subtitle languages in the same name? (the comp says you cant)

    and thank you for the great website

  217. Hey – to all those with synchronization problems and repetetive questions on how to synch subs with a movie – the answer is actually was given earlier in the thread. Subtitle Workshop! most movies synch up in few clicks.
    here’s a typical scenario – movie is 25 fps, subtitle is at pal/europe speed of 23.976. Preview the movie – you’ll see the discrepancy. Ok, in second drop down box type new speed 23.976, hit enter, change back to time mode if it changed to frames. Notice – the timings changed. Load movie preview again… see if it’s the right synchronization. Other popular speeds are 23.978, 29.760. (for more on fps in different formats (NTSC, secam, pal, etc – see wikipidea). I’ve dealt with a lot of european movies, they typically need 23.976 as new value in sub workshop.
    Also, if it’s a matter of simple synchronizaton with no FPS speed discrepancies – a monkey can synch it up with this program – open video preview, wait till the first words are spoken, pause, notice the timing – this is your end timings for the first line in subtitles. do a simple math (addition, subtraction) , select all, enter the delay difference.
    It really is not hard and very intuitive. I am so surprised you guys are having problems out there.
    By the way, the program also merges subtitles. Splitting subtitles is again a matter of three-four clicks. (select/delete unneeded – save as, and repeat for part two or three).
    And yes, start using VLC, it’s the better player.
    And if you have troubles watching AVIs – make suure you downloaded and installed latest codec packs. google video codec pack download or somethhing.
    This site has the absolute best web collection of subtitles. Wish it was a bit more stable server and collection grew even more and more towards better cinema, away from hollywood crap, eh well.
    Cheers!

  218. Yes, But what is the actual writing which you have to put before the first subtitle to delay or fasten the subtitle. (can you give an example please)
    Thanks

  219. Amirt… umm, actually, if you like to type, then instead of menu ctrl+B (select all), then ctrl+D
    TYPE in the offset (again, please read above –
    if it’s a matter of simple synchronizaton with no FPS speed discrepancies… open video preview, wait till the first words are spoken, pause, notice the timing – this is your end timings for the first line in subtitles. do a simple math (addition, subtraction) , select all, enter the delay difference.)

    I am not sure what writing you are referring to – if the subtitles are 10 seconds ahead, subtract 10 seconds (EDIT _ SET DELAY menu, or ctrl+D) . etc, etc. that is you type a number 10 in seconds field… *cough*

    tip – use end timings in the subtitles, this synchs the dialogue more properly.

    Start with the basic stuff, please. I think you better download the program first… then open your subtitle file. I don’t think you’d have questions like these after you’ve done at least that.

    Cheers

  220. I like to watch my movies on the TV.

  235. I have downloaded the VLC player to be able to watch a movie with subtitle. I downloaded it with winrar and extracted it, and put it in the same folder as the movie. Then I changed the name as well.
    In the previous post I read that you should go to file, the open file and browse and tick the box for subtitles. But I have no such option on my VLC player!? I can only chose between media, audio, video, playlist, tools and help.
    can somebody please help, I been trying to play this for 2 days!!

    maybe it’s possible to make the sub a part of the movie file?

    thanks:P

  240. Found this article very useful, so I thought I’d try to help. If the subtitles aren’t in sync, that might be because the video started being recorded at a different time than the subtitles. Try downloading the subtitles from another source.
    I found myself having trouble at first renaming the subtitle file, so what I did was this: instead of just opening the ZIP file, I right-clicked and extracted the files. After this, I was then able to rename the subtitle file.
    After that, to watch the movie on my computer, I just hightlighted both the subtitle file and the video file and opened them together. The subtitles appeared just as normal. Hope this helped anyone.

  241. i did what ur guide give to us it did work a bit cause when i right clicked it, it says play and then etc. but when i clicked the play the player says “cannot play media. its either corrupt or the application does not support the format you are trying to play.”

    indi

    tnx in advance

  242. as you said that the srt. file must be at the same location of the avi. file.

    my problem is when i downloaded it in withs2.com its only srt. then i followed the guide that you have given, then it work a bit cause when i right clicked it, it says play then under of it open with and then etc. but when i clicked play it doesn’t work cause it says “the media cannot be play. its either the file is corrupt or the format wasn’t supported by the player.”

    pls. help me i’m dying of longing to watch the movie

    plssssssss…… i really want to watch it! and i’ll do anything in return

    plss…. help me

  247. Hello.
    My Windows Media Player (version 11) has recently stopped showing subtitles as it used to do ever since I installed it. When trying to play any movie file with matching subtitles file in the same directory (I mainly use the SRT format), I can see the writing ” acquiring codec” on the left side and below the above player until it disappears and the movie is played without subtitles.
    Can anybody help with this problem?
    Thanks,
    Moshe

  248. Hi
    I have a mac and I have a problem with the subtitle!!
    i have cd1/CD2 and don’t know why but the CD2 is never working and i don’t know what to do plz help
    thanks!

  249. Hello,

    If you have GOM Player you can play your subtitles without actually having to rename the sub file:

    While the movie file is open (or even running) press Alt-O to show a pop up window where you can select the subtitles file you wish to be run along with your movie. Select the desired file and click open. And that’s all

  250. To Matt:

    If your subtitles are running out of synch you should use a tool to synch the movie and subs file. Subtitle Edit (www.nikse.dk/se) is a very good choice. You only have to visually synch the very first line of dialogue with its corresponding subtitle line and do the same with the final dialogue and sub lines. Synchronization is made visually and you have all the needed controls (like displacement bars, play/pause/stop/fwd/rew/ buttons including frame displacement controls) to make it in the easy way.

  251. hey i m not able to play subtitles with vlc media player.even if i name them same as the given video and open the video, there comes a message showing ‘unrecognised format for file’. plz help me

  252. Hi!

    Is there a tool or program to edit subs in SUB-IDX format? I don’t mean editing times but text. Tried with Subtitle Workshop (gr8 program, thnx for the tip!) but it won’t recognize them.
    thnx for helping!

  253. Saruji: SUB/IDX subs are not text, they’re images. You can’t edit them their text. You have to regenerate them from scratch.

  254. hi, i downloaded a movie with the format VP70, which VLC doesn’t open, or support, and media player classic does, but i cant see the subtitles with it. what player should i download???
    thanks a lot

  255. thanks, buddy. your tips worked well. now i see the subtitles. just i extracted the srt file in the same folder of the movie, renamed the file by right clicking the srt file, wrote the same name of the movie file and lastly added .srt. thats all. it was so simple. it worked. i hope this information will be useful for beginners like me.

  256. hi guys i want to download the moovie ”Sin Tetas No Hay Paraiso” i have try to download the moovie but nothing…help me please..

    Thank you!!!

  257. I have read all the answers to this question an i have the best advice, trust.

    Ok all you need to do is go to http://www.moovida.com
    When you download Moovida for free it adds additional information to your media files such as since were talking about movie files it inriches your movie files adding fan art work, an a synopsis on the movie.
    Also giving you the option to turn on SUBTITLES in a large choice of languages.

    Enjoy it i do……..

  258. Hi,

    In case you’re having sub synchronization problems when watching a movie in VLC, this is one quick way to fix it:

    Open the movie and subtitles files (movie starts to play)- click Pause – click “Show extended settings” (one of the grey buttons at the bottom of the VLC screen) – “Adjustments and effects” – choose “Synchronization” – and then make the necessary time adjustments in “Advance of subtitles over video” or “Speed of the subtitles”(e.g. my subtitles came 5 seconds after the audio, so I changed it to minus 5,000s in “Advance of subtitles over video”).

  259. I just read your instructions for adding subtitles. I downloaded subtitles for XXY. I have KM player and flicked through and it all seems to have worked! So easy! thank you!

  260. I am using the WD HD TV media player for viewing foreign movies (with English subtitles), that has limited support for displaying subtitles. Some ISO files will display subtitles (but others don’t), and when VOB files are used no subtitles ever! There are no separate SRT files , so I had to either download them from this site, or had to generate them myself from the VOB files using SubRip, (that appears to be generating a “proper” SRT file as far as I can tell.
    I understand that the SRT file must have the same filename as the main movie, but since there are several (4-8) VOB files and I have only one SRT file, I do not know what could work. But even if I force the SRT file name to match one of the VOB files (exactly), and the WD HD TV may detect that there is a subtitle track, it will not display it! Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  261. I’m watching a movie in .avi format. I have 2 .srt files I want to use for subtitles. Now, I can get them both to play at the same time, but they overlap eachother so neither can be read. Is there a way to make it so they appear in different parts of the screen?

  262. hello,
    I have a problem.
    Idownloaded the subtitle workshop, but I don´t know how to manage it. I pasted my subtitle file (SRT) to workshop, but I couldn´t open the movie file. What shall I do? Please help.

    Liis from Estonia

  263. Zoltan: SRT files are not supposed to work with either .bin or .vob or .iso files. Some players will pick them but in reality they’re not supposed to.

    Do things right and either get the files in a proper video file format (ISO, VOB and BIN aren’t) or submit to the limitations or your preferred format.

  264. I m also facing the problems with subtitles. I have an .ISO file movie having default subtitles ( Language:Holland). Now I want to change and upload the english language subtitles. How th do the same. Please help me.

  265. eduo:
    Thanks for the information regarding the issue of SRT files. I did not know that SRT files are not supposed (or guaranteed) to work with .bin or .vob or .iso files. As far as I know the standard default format for DVD movies is the VOB format, so I try to save my files in the same, to prevent any data loss. (ISO copies also supposed to be bit to bit replicas.) These files work just fine in any software DVD player, (I’m normally using PowerDVD), without any SRT file.

    But my WDHDTV will NOT handle subtitles embedded in VOB files! They explicitly require the creation of SRT files when the media is in VOB format, subject to the same requirement publishe here: the must have identical file name, as the VOB thus the only difference is the filetype.

    I did succeed to create working subtitles with a smaller chunk (only the first 1GB VOB file). But as you mentioned it can’t be guaranteed that they will be always detected. This is a limitation of the WDHDTV hardware (firmware really) and I just try to work out a solution for it. Do you have experience of full DVD VOB structure conversion to other formats? Aren’t yu experiencing some degree of signal deterioration?

    I have the highest standards for video quality and would not want to loose any picture information. I am watching all my movies in 1080P format, even though of course some older movies have to be upscaled to that , since their original recording was done is inferior quality.

    Thanks again for you help.

  266. hello. I finally managed to burn my movie with subtitles to a dvd. I used convertxtoDvd 3, but i hava a problem with that.

  269. Here’s a trick using VLC player that might be useful to some people who have a burnt DVD without the subtitles, and have downloaded the subtitles they need.

    With VLC player, and the DVD loaded in, when you click on video/ subtitles/browse it doesn’t seem to work with a burnt DVD. But there’s a way around.

    With an open window with you subtitle files, just drag them with your mouse on to the the VLC player and then when you right click video/ subtitles/ you will see them there to select from.

  287. Roope Kanninen:

    “Tip: if you like to watch movie with 2 subtitles (switch them in video player), let’s say english and dutch, you just have to rename subtitle files like:

    * movie.en.srt
    * movie.nl.srt”

  291. Hi
    Well, I’ve a problem with the subtitles…
    I save the subs with the same name of the film, but “.srt” like it’s explained… but next when I watch the film it appears with two equal subtitles one above other… how can I put only one sub??? Tks =)

  292. I downloaded the movie “Mystic River” and the subtitles for it. It works fine, but the subs are about 3 seconds late !! Why is that?

  293. I use GOMplayer on a windows computer. I rented a DVD from the store, and downloaded a foreign subtitle that isn’t included on the original DVD itself. Is there anyway to play to rented DVD AND the subtitles that I downloaded from online on my laptop? I can’t seem to find a way, as when I enter the DVD into the CD drive, there is no single video file that I can instruct GOM to play. Thank you so much in advance for the help, I really appreciate it!

  294. The problem is:

    to some movies (few) it worked well.
    but for months I am trying to watch subtitled movies using this way and I am very confuse because it doesn’t work anymore.
    this method was ok until some day… then, I never more could put the subtitles in the films. I DON’T KNOW WHY!!!
    I know that it should work, because I DID IT some times. but now, nothing works. I rename the archives and play (WMPlayer, WMP Classic, Winamp) but the film still with no subtitles.

    could you give me a light?
    thanks

  296. Hello,
    My question is about how to add more than 1 subtitle to a movie AVI or DVD player movie and being able to choose the subtitle. Example: I have a movie AVI in french.

I can add the subtitle to the movie, i can convert the movie AVI to watch on dvd player, but is there a way i can choose if i want subtitle, and which subtitle? how to do that please? Thanks

  298. Lots of people seem to have trouble with Chinese subtitles in VLC. I think I have it figured out. The problem is the font VLC uses to render the subtitles. You need to use a specific font, namely Arial Unicode. This font came installed on my computer in the directory C: WIndows/fonts. However, Windows won’t allow VLC to use this font directly from the windows directory. In addition, windows won’t let me copy the font and paste it to another directory. BUT, it WILL let me drag it (you MUST drag, don’t copy and paste) to my desktop and then copy it to any other directory. Strange huh? SO, copy the font file to whatever directory you want and then open VLC. Go to tools/preferences/subtitles & OSD. Where it says font, click browse, find and select the Arial Unicode font. Then, under default encoding, select Universal Chinese and restart VLC. This should do it. If you get Chinese looking characters that still don’t make sense, try another encoding. There are 2 for Traditional Chinese, 2 for Simplified CHinese and one called Hong Kong Supplementary. Universal Chinese and Traditional Chinese (Big 5) seem to be the most common. Hope this helps

  299. As for sync problems with subtitles, in VLC, go to tools/track synchronization and the rest is self explanatory. SOmetimes the sync is progressively worse. I.e at first its only a second off and by the end of the movie its 20 minutes off. I have not found any fix for this. Has anyone else?

  300. I recentley downloaded many english movies with greek subtitles. Some of them work no problem. Others movies have the subtitles but it is not greek. I don’t think it is any language. It is just symbols and weird lettering. Is it my computer that can’t read it? How come my computer can read some and others it can’t?

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

  301. Hey guys,
    i have a question, probably a silly one,
    but i’ve downloaded the subtitle for the movie skyfighters, but i dont know how i can use the subtitle in the movie… its an SRT-file. I dont know much about these things…can anyone help me??

  302. Do you know some useful site where I can download complete subtitles of recently released movies online? I would be grateful if anyone can help me on this..

  303. Hi everyone If you have a movie that has SRT subs with it and you cannot get the subs to come up when playing the movie, you dont have to download any software all you do is, Say your movie is called “Bobsleigh bill DivX avi’ and your sub file says
    ‘Bobsleigh bill Eng Subs SRT” what you do is go to the AVI file and rename it just put, no commas or anything put, Bobsleigh bill now go to the SRT file rename it exactly the same Bobsleigh bill now go to your movie player mine I use Gom player,and your subs will come up when you play the movie by putting the exact same thing for each file it’s like it is one file so you dont have to combine them, also I found doing it this way when you come to burn it to DVD it asks if I want to add the subs I use AVStoDVD to burn my dvds, now if you put Bobsleigh bill avi and Bobsleigh bill srt Like alot of people have been saying to put it does not recognize it as one file so when I went to burn it to DVD it didnt recognise any subs for the movie. hope this helps took me ages to work that one out without having to download any software to combine it.

  308. Ok here’s the deal. I have no problem downloading or making the subs work, but instead of proper subs i get something like this:
    +u_ov= gi8ue o?i

    the subs are supposed to be in Greek and my windows are English.
    Is this a windows problem? It doesn’t seem to have problems when i work on word with Greek but i have seen the same thing happen when i tried to convert pdf to doc.
    Any help would be very welcome..

  309. Aside from the newbie crap that is covered in the videos/FAQs (RTFM) …

    I have read through most of these posts and there is one question repeated often that is not covered:

    ***Concerning the issue of making FOREIGN subtitles work (I.E.. not play in characters such as “+u_ov= gi8ue o?i”

    I could not find anything solid and tried messing with the font/OSD settings in VLC to no avail.

    I personally am trying to get THAI subtitles to play.

    Off a local thai website, I found many users sharing the same frustrations.

    They recommended to try JET AUDIO BASIC player – apparently it “just works” with foreign subs.

    I have a couple different movies that I have subtitles and I use TVersity to stream movies that I have downloaded onto my computer to my XBOX360, but I cant get the subtitles to work on the 360 nor on my computer. I use Windows Media to play the movies on my computer but I really dont use my computer for that purpose really. Whats most important to me is that it shows up on my TV via 360. Am I doing something wrong? I already renamed the srt file according to the movie name.

  332. thanksssssss!!!!!!!! the video was really really helpful…..:)
    if the subs don’t work then the movie downloaded is a waste…..thank you so much

    everytime i start a movie with its subtitles it shows strange characters and not greek sub like i put…..plz help

  340. guys most of you are having problems with the sync. Here is why

    The movies is given by fps (frame pr. second) you can check it by rightclicking on the file and in properties. The subtitle has to match the fps the movie is shown in. Allways browse after the qualyty your movie is in. That is the easyest way. There is fx no idea of downloading blu ray subs to a cam rip.
    took me long time to figure out
    Enjoy

  341. WHEN I PLAY MY MOVIE WITH SUBTITLES.THE SUBTITLES ARE LAGGING BEHIND,THAT IS SCENE COMES FIRST AND ITS SUBTITLES COME IN ANOTHER SCENE.PLEASE SEND A SOLUTION FOR THIS TO MY ID AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
    THANKING YOU.

  342. thanks guy’s,its works,bt there is a little bit of problem i m facing some time related to timings,bt not all time,thanks.

  343. the simplest way is go to your ‘file’ tab of your media player and look for ‘ load subtitle ‘ ….no need to rename ur subtitle. if its out of sync choose another subtitle until you find the appropriate one. enjoy

  344. any one suggest me which software to download on desktop so that i can see the subtitles in English.
    kindly write in steps.

    Thanks in adv.

  345. Anyone help?

    Trying to run srt subtitles with a film on VLC 1.1.6 or Opensubtitles.

    The subtitles are out of synch and even after being lined up with the VLC keyboard shortcuts, inevitably creep back to the delayed time.

    Have Subtitles Editor but can’t understand what to do – even after checking some of the similar posts.

    Thanks.

  347. Hello, I use VLC player and I’m trying to watch Star Wars… I have the .mkv file and the correct subs; however, I just want the subs when the Hutt’s talk or whoever isn’t speaking english. The movie is in english, I don’t need to read the subs when they’re speaking english, I just want to see the alien languages translated. It does this when I stream through the xbox360, but not when i use my computer, this seems quite silly. How do I fix this problem, do I need to convert or something?? Plz help!!!!

  348. Hiii…

  349. how do i add subtitles in my dvd on gom player? i have bought a pack of 5 foregin films in one. nw how do i put their subtitles in???

  350. There is much more to it than your “I got bored” explanation, and you know it. Subtitle files come in various forms, including RAR. They names of the subtitle files rarely indicate the movie or the language. It depends if the the subtitle file is .sub or .srt and so on. Worse, every site that deals with the topic only provides a fractional explanation. Your smug tutorial is no better. It is great for the person who only needs what you provided, otherwise it’s ‘explanation’ is more distracting useless BS.

  351. i have downloaded subtitle and i have attached it with srt …everything is fine but am getting all the title before the scene is going to happen ..titles are coming after some particular scene .what to do with this sir .

  352. My LG tv plays .SRT subtitles just fine but only the ones named “MOVIE.SRT”… if its “MOVIE.EN.SRT” it doesnt work.. thing is I see the option to change subs language in the menu but its all grayed out…….. so is there a way to have 2 SUBTITLES inside a single one, named “MOVIE.SRT”? How in the hell this LGLD460 reads multiple subtitles? thanks in advance 😉

  353. Hi,

    I have downloaded from megaupload avi files as well as .srt file for the subtitles.

    I have no problem watching it on my computer but when i played it on my WD media player to TV, the subtitles are too small to read.

    Is there any way that I can make the subtitle bigger/clearer when played on WD player on TV viewing?

    Appreciate so much your kind assistance.

  354. I understand how to get subtitles to work, but the subtitles play even during the english speaking parts. I only need it for the german speaking parts, and I am not sure how this works. The Pianist is the movie I am referring to.

  363. Dear Sir

    I switched to MAC recently. My goal is to watch DVD Disc (I have a large collection with Discs) on my Mac and see dual subtitles (for language learning), say English and Spanis.

    When using PC i used to watch those discs with PowerDVD 10. It has the capability to view two subtitles (MAIN and SECONDARY).

    Now, PowerDVD does not exist for MAC.
    VLC-MAC > only let me view one subtitle at a time.
    Movist-MAC > there is NO option to open a Disc! Obviously I cannot rip 1000+ discs to other formats (like MKV) just to be able to see dual subtitles at the same time…please help

  364. I’ve downloaded a number of films now with terribly translated subtitle files. Is there a reason for this? It’s really hard to watch a film with my partner knowing it’s all wrong and some of the English is illegible. Who the fuck makes these things?

  365. Hi,
    Friends, I want to delete a question, please.
    I download a movie with the release below:
    Release: Battleground.2012.1080p.BluRay.x264-HD4U
    It happens that in my movie folder I change the name of this movie:
    Battleground (2012)
    By the time I use OpenSubtitles to locate the legend, at xbmc, I always find several subtitles, but all out of sync.
    My question is:
    It is important to keep the name of the release so that I get the download, or you can keep my change?
    Grateful for any hint.

  371. CONCERNING FRAME RATE!!

    Make sure that the frames per second number (FPS) for the movie matches the FPS for the subs. Download sites will usually give the FPS for the movie. For the subs, it’s often in the title of the sub file. Some subtitle sites also provide it in the ‘details’ section for the individual subtitle file (subscene for example). Equal FPS is the only criteria for subs and films which will work together. If the FPS is not the same, the film will not sync with the subs. (Some players force you to use a subtitle name which matches that of the film, in which case you must rename the sub file, but this has nothing to do with the FPS issue.)

    MISTAKE

    A lot of the instructions for using subs state that the title of the sub file and of the movie must match. They give this instruction thinking that this is a way to deal with the FPS problem. This is a MISTAKE because it eliminates using sub files with titles not matching that of the video file. True, if the two titles match, you are guaranteed equal FPS. But you can use a file which does not match the movie on name, as long as the FPS is the same. (23.976 and 25.0 are the only frame rates I know of.)

    A related trick. If you have a video without the FPS info and/or a sub file without the FPS info, you can find out if there is a match on FPS as follows. Get the run time for the video. Open the srt file and look at the time for the last subtitle. If these are close, you have probably got a matching pair. To be exactly sure, do the following. Find the time for the last subtitle. Go to that time on the video. If the content of the audio at that point on the film matches the content of the last subtitle, you are guaranteed that the subs will work for the video.

    In some cases, even if the FPS is the same, the subs must be either delayed or moved forward to get them to sync with the video. At least some of the players enable this, e.g., smplayer. This fact of course complicates the techniques described in the previous paragraph.
