This tutorial only applies to softsubs, meaning the subtitles are external from the actual movie file. Hardubs refers to subtitles that are added into the movie file.

Keep the .srt or .sub and .idx file together in the same folder as your avi file (make sure they are named the same - ie: movie.avi and movie.srt).

To display the subtitles download Directvobsub and install, it will automatically load the srt file into you player when you view your movie file.

Download DirectVOBsub here:

An alternate way to view subtitles is to use a program that has subtitle support, such as BSPlayer, VLC (VideoLan), and Radlight.

BsPlayer - http://www.bsplayer.org
VLC - http://videolan.org/
Radlight - http://www.radlight.net/

Out of the above three, I reccomend VLC.

ASF files
In some cases, you need to convert ASF files to avi before you can view subtitles.

Use the program below to convert ASF files to AVI

Sometimes you can just view the subtitles by loading it up with VLC player.

if your vids are hardsubbed then you just have to convert it for ipod usage, but I don't think softsubbed vids will work for ipod. Better look for hardsubbed ones...

Thanks for the info. It has been a great help to me since without the info, I wouldn't know how to use the substitle file.
