Do you enjoy the movie if you don’t actually understand the language of it? Do you satisfy with the movie which some actors’ voices are too soft? You probably don’t enjoy or satisfy them.

Thinking to add a subtitle to the movie?
If so, then you are at the right place. This tutorial will lead you through the steps of adding a subtitle to a movie.

How to add subtitles to movies?
The very first thing you have to do is to make sure that your movie is in avi file extension. If not, you have to convert it to avi file extension yourself.

Next, search and download the subtitle that match your movie from these famous subtitle sites - www.divxsubtitles.net, subscene.com, www.mysubtitles.com, www.mysubtitles.org and many more.
However, it is hard to find a subtitle for a less popular movie sometimes.

Alright, you should have a srt file with you now. SRT is a subtitle text file. You can see the contents with any text editor like notepad. Place it in the same folder as the movie. You have to rename the srt file to match the avi file name. Both names must be exactly the same!
For example:
- Alvin-and-the-chipmunks.avi
- Alvin-and-the-chipmunks.srt

Then, you need to download and install VobSub so that your video players learn how to display subtitle while playing a movie.

And that’s it! Your video should display the subtitle if you did the above steps correctly.

For Mac Users:
To view .srt files on a Mac, you need to use a video playing application called VLC. It’s free, and can be downloaded here.

Once you’re running VLC, go to preferences and deselect ‘automatically detect subtitle files’. Then choose the subtitle file to be played with the movie using the ‘browse’ button (select both files). It’s not automatic but it works!

Enjoy your movies!
