Using subtitles for your movie files

Yesterday KK askd how to view subtitles while watching movie files.

First of all you need to get ur subtitle file(usually .srt files)... i use www.subscence.com for getting my subtitles.

If you are using the KM player, then viewing subtitles is easy. Just drag and drop the .srt file onto the player, just like you would do with a movie file to view it. This is the easiest way, and i recommend the km player with the k-lite codec pack.(http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/)... this thing play 99% of all file formats.

I dont think the drag and dropping subtitles work with the Windows Media Player. In this case, you just need to work with the filenames a lil. Just place your movie file(XYZ.avi) and ur subtitle file(the .srt file) in the same folder. Now just rename your .srt filename into XYZ.srt.

This should just do it right hopefully. Getting the subtitles to sync with the movie is another headache...which you can take ur time and solve ;-)
If you got other good sites for getting subtitles, please post them.

Cheers
