Method 3 – If you are desperate (but own the DVD) Once the search is completed (it might take a while) you can download the corresponding subtitles directly. While you can also search by name I have not found this function to be particularly good.
Once you have the movie loaded you can click the “ Search by hash” without filling out anything else. Note that you should launch the extension first, then load your video.
To access this extension: G o to view -> VLCSub If the extension does not show up for you, either update your VLC, or get the extension manually via:
If this method works you will have a file that fits perfectly with you video, as it takes it way more into account. VLC Media Player has a built in VLCSUB extension which allows you to search for subtitles based on the video's hash-information, or as I understand it, the information embedded in the file. Sadly it's a normal bad advertiser policy to try and distract you with big download buttons that just redirect to ads. If there's a DOWNLOAD in big banners and letters and it links to something like “?753434” then it's probably not your file. Note: Be careful with some of these sites and exercise normal sensible browsing logic. So for instance finding the same Russian they actually speak in the Russian version Frozen proved to be quite a challenge! Method 1: Try these sites to find your subtitles Be warned though that the subtitle files are often based on the English version of an international film. If you have acquired your video file from the internet one way or another it is likely that you can obtain a subtitle this way. Step 1 – Locate the subtitles for your movie or video I have no experience with this software, but it might prove useful!
So I decided to write this in-depth guide. After fiddling around with it for a good few hours I finally managed to make it work.Īfter posting the result in the Polyglots Facebook group, it got quite a response of people who wanted to emulate what I had set up. That way I could gain both auditory and visual input to my Russian learning. The other night I was watching my Frozen DVD on my computer with the Russian language enabled, but as I was watching the movie I was thinking “What if I could have both Russian and English subtitles at the same time?” ** If you're interested in learning Spanish as a foreign language, check out my review of Baselang – a no fuss, unlimited tutoring service. ** Update November 2018: This post solved a problem many years ago, and while it still works new solutions have been developed, check the comment section!
