如果您下载了包含一个或多个 SRT 字幕文件的电影或视频(movie or video)，那么您可能想知道观看视频的最佳方式是什么？
您可能在 Windows 上使用Windows Media Player 或 Media Player Classic(Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic)，或者在Mac上使用QuickTime Player。如果你在谷歌(Google)上搜索，你会发现这些程序中有各种加载字幕的教程，但你会遇到很多问题。
首先，Windows Media Player 和 QuickTime(Windows Media Player and QuickTime)等程序仅支持某些类型的视频文件的字幕。在WMP中，即使您安装了编解码器、将SRT文件命名为与(SRT)电影文件(movie file)相同的名称等，您甚至无法加载MP4文件的字幕。它只是无法正常工作(t work)。
在对各种媒体播放器进行了数小时的测试后，我意识到使用单独的SRT 文件(SRT file)观看任何视频的最简单方法是使用VLC Media Player。它非常棒，因为它默认可以播放几乎任何视频文件(video file)，它可以播放损坏或损坏的视频文件(video file)，它甚至可以修复你有时从智能手机获得的那些烦人的颠倒视频。
除此之外，当SRT 文件位于同一文件夹中并且与(SRT file)视频文件(video file)同名时，它几乎总是完美地显示视频的字幕。它适用于带有SUB 和 IDX 文件的(SUB and IDX files)AVI、MP4甚至MKV文件。
使用VLC 媒体播放器(VLC Media Player)加载字幕
VLC 媒体播放器(VLC Media Player)非常好，您通常只需加载视频文件(video file)并让它自动加载字幕文件(subtitle file)。如果字幕文件(subtitle file)位于SUBS 或 SUBTITLES等子文件夹中， (SUBS or SUBTITLES)VLC通常甚至会找到它。
此外，它会自动查找所有SRT 文件(SRT file)，这意味着您实际上不必将SRT 文件命名为与(SRT file)视频文件(video file)完全相同。此外，如果有多个SRT 文件(SRT file)可用，它会选择所有这些文件并让您选择。
如果由于某种原因，VLC没有自动加载您的字幕文件(subtitle file)，您只需右键单击视频，选择字幕(Subtitle)，然后单击添加字幕文件( Add Subtitle File)。唯一一次我必须这样做是当我有一个MKV 文件(MKV file)并且字幕文件由一个.SUB 和 .IDX 文件(.SUB and .IDX file)组成时。我添加了.SUB 文件(.SUB file)，并且加载的字幕很好。
这就是字面意思。它非常简单，只需要三段来解释如何使用它。唯一的问题是，如果您的视频没有任何字幕文件，您会怎么做？也许您下载了电影，但默认情况下它不包含任何额外的SRT文件。
查找和下载字幕
幸运的是，几乎每个电视节目和电影(TV Show and movie)都有一个由某个亲切的灵魂为其创建的字幕文件。(subtitle file)你所要做的就是找到它。最简单的方法是访问字幕网站，搜索您的电视节目或电影(TV show or movie)并下载SRT 文件(SRT file)。
获取字幕的两个最受欢迎的网站是Subscene和OpenSubtitles.org。在OpenSubtitles 上(OpenSubtitles)，执行搜索，然后您将在底部看到不同语言的所有可用字幕。
如果你不记得各个国家的国旗，没问题。只需单击(Just click)标志列(flag column)上方的小白框，您就可以按名称选择语言！
为 VLC 安装 VLSub
获取电影字幕的另一种很酷的方法是向VLC添加插件，以便您可以直接在VLC中下载电影字幕。该插件名为VLSub，您可以在此处下载：
https://github.com/exebetche/vlsub/
单击右侧的下载(hand side)ZIP(Download ZIP)按钮。我们感兴趣的主要文件是vlsub.lua文件。
解压缩文件后，您需要根据您的操作系统将(operating system).lua 文件(.lua file)复制到以下目录。请注意，您可能必须自己创建扩展(extensions)文件夹。
- Windows（所有用户）：%ProgramFiles%VideoLANVLCluaextensions
- Windows（当前用户）：%APPDATA% lcluaextensions
- Linux（所有用户）：/usr/lib/vlc/lua/extensions/
- Linux（当前用户）：~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
- Mac OS X（所有用户）：/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/ MacOS/share/lua/extensions/
- Mac OS X（当前用户）：/Users/%your_name%/Library/Application Support/org.videolan.vlc/lua/extensions/
如果您使用的是非安装版本的VLC，您可以从U 盘(USB stick)运行它，那么您必须在plugins\lua 文件夹中导航并创建扩展(extensions)文件夹。将文件复制到那里后，打开VLC，然后单击查看(View) 菜单。
您将在那里看到一个名为Download Subtitles的新选项。加载要观看的视频后，单击新选项。另一个窗口将出现，您的文件的标题已经加载到搜索框中(search box)。
继续并单击按名称搜索，您应该会在( Search by name)底部窗口(bottom window)中获得大量结果。找到与您的电影最匹配的电影，尤其是分辨率方面（480、720、1080），然后单击下载选择(e Download selection)按钮。
下载后，它将自动加载字幕，一旦您开始播放，它们就会出现在您的视频中。
总的来说，VLC对多种格式的支持和易用性使其成为我迄今为止使用过的最好的媒体播放器。对于需要定期使用字幕的人来说，VLC是不二之选。如果您有任何问题，请随时发表评论。享受！
The Easiest Way to Find & Load Subtitle (SRT) Files with Video
If you have downloaded a mоvie or video that includes one or more SRT files for subtitles, then yоu might be wondering what the best way would be to watch the video?
You might be using Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic on Windows or you might be using QuickTime Player on a Mac. If you search on Google, you’ll find there are all kinds of tutorials for loading subtitles in these programs, but you’ll run into a ton of issues.
Firstly, programs like Windows Media Player and QuickTime only support subtitles for certain types of video files. In WMP, you can’t even load subtitles for MP4 files even if you install codecs, name the SRT file the same as the movie file, etc. It just won’t work.
After testing all kinds of media players for hours, I realized the easiest way to watch any video with a separate SRT file is to use VLC Media Player. It’s awesome because it can play pretty much any video file by default, it can play damaged or corrupt video files and it can even fix those annoying upside down videos you get from your smartphone sometimes.
In addition to all of that, it almost always flawlessly shows subtitles for videos when the SRT file is in the same folder and has the same name as the video file. It’ll work for AVI, MP4, and even MKV files with SUB and IDX files.
Loading Subtitles with VLC Media Player
VLC Media Player is so good that all you normally have to do is just load the video file and let it load the subtitle file automatically. VLC will normally even find the subtitle file if it is in a subfolder like SUBS or SUBTITLES.
Also, it will look for all SRT files automatically, meaning you don’t actually have to name the SRT file exactly like the video file. Additionally, if there are multiple SRT files available, it will pick all of them up and let you choose.
If, for some reason, VLC does not automatically load your subtitle file, you can just right-click on the video, choose Subtitle and click Add Subtitle File. The only time I had to do this was when I had an MKV file and the subtitle files consisted of a .SUB and .IDX file. I added the .SUB file and the subtitles loaded right up just fine.
That is literally it. It is so easy that it only takes three paragraphs to explain how to use it. The only question is what do you do if you don’t have any subtitle files for your video? Maybe you downloaded a movie, but it didn’t include any extra SRT files by default.
Finding and Downloading Subtitles
Luckily, just about every TV Show and movie has a subtitle file created for it by some gracious soul. All you have to do is find it. The easiest way is to visit a subtitle website, search for your TV show or movie and download the SRT file.
The two most popular sites for getting subtitles are Subscene and OpenSubtitles.org. On OpenSubtitles, perform a search and then you’ll see all the available subtitles for different languages at the bottom.
If you can’t remember the flags of various countries, no problem. Just click on the little white box above the flag column and you’ll be able to pick the language by name!
Install VLSub for VLC
Another cool way to get subtitles for a movie is by adding a plugin to VLC so that you can download subtitles for movies directly inside VLC. The plugin is called VLSub and you can download it here:
https://github.com/exebetche/vlsub/
Click on the Download ZIP button at the right hand side. The main file we are interested in is the vlsub.lua one.
Once you unzip the file, you need to copy the .lua file over to the following directory based on your operating system. Note that you probably will have to create the extensions folder yourself.
- Windows (all users): %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\
- Windows (current user): %APPDATA%\vlc\lua\extensions\
- Linux (all users): /usr/lib/vlc/lua/extensions/
- Linux (current user): ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
- Mac OS X (all users): /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/extensions/
- Mac OS X (current user): /Users/%your_name%/Library/Application Support/org.videolan.vlc/lua/extensions/
If you are using the non-installer version of VLC where you can run it from a USB stick, then you have to navigate inside the plugins\lua folder and create the extensions folder. Once you copy the file there, open up VLC and then click on the View menu.
You’ll see a new option there called Download Subtitles. Once you load the video you want to watch, click on the new option. Another window will appear with the title of your file already loaded into the search box.
Go ahead and click on Search by name and you should get a good number of results in the bottom window. Find one that matches your movie best, especially resolution-wise (480, 720, 1080), and then click the Download selection button.
Once downloaded, it will automatically load the subtitles and they should appear on your video once you start playing it.
Overall, VLC’s support for so many formats and ease of use make it the best media player I’ve used by far. For anyone who needs to use subtitles regularly, VLC is the way to go. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy!
