I often watch movies on my computer. It runs on Windows 7 and my favourite movie player is VLC player. One very useful reason to do so, is the feature of downloading subtitles from the internet and synchronizing them with the movie I am watching.
I came across a nice Add-on for VLC Player, which allows the user to download subtitles of a movie while watching the film.
Using Subtitle Finder
- First make sure your VLC player is updated. The latest version can be found from here.
- Now visit Subtitles Finder, and download the (subtitles-mod.lua) file on your computer.
- If only code is shown, copy-paste it into a notepad and save the file as subtitles-mod.lua. Make sure File Type is selected as ‘All Files’, otherwise the file might end up being saved as a .txt file.
- This file has to be added into VLC Folder in Program Files on your computer. Below is the exact path where the file has to be added.
- Windows (all users): %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\
- Windows (current user): %APPDATA%\VLC\lua\extensions\
- Now while you are watching a movie on DVD and do not find subtitles in English or any particular language then you can simply click on View >> Subtitles >> Download.
- We have the option of searching but most times the subtitles are found without any trouble. Click on “Load Selected Subtitle” as you can see in the image above.
- For older version of VLC player, you might have to look up the Subtitle Finder by clicking on View >> Extensions >> Subtitles.
