Playing it on VLS is very simple. What you have to do is . Copy the srt file and media file in same folder. srt file name should be the same as file name.'en'( for English)

Eg: movie.fly
srt name should be movie.en.srt for English subtitle.

Cellulo worked for me, I am using Mac Os X 10.5.7 Intel iMac 2.16

i was trying to watch an .avi and an .srt together that wouldnt work in quicktime or vlc, I got the Celullo 2.0.2 and just played the file while keeping the .srt in the same folder, and it worked

Hello,

I have the same problem as “frustrated”; the subtitles option on VCL comes out gray and I can’t enable it.
However, and this is what I just can’t figure out, with some chapters of the series it works, and it opens both the .avi and .srt files... so???? The files are all fine, I already tried opening them on a PC and they work.
Any ideas of why I can’t play the subtitles?

In the latest release of VLC for Mac (1.0.1), one simply does this: On the “File” menu, select “Advanced Open File," browse for the AVI file location, then check the box for “Load Subtitles File," browse for the SRT file, then click Open.

I have a pc. I have torrent files in on file and then 11 .srt in a .zip file (1 per episode). I have to use a program for the torrents and I already have that (I use LimeWire) but I don’t know what to do with .srt.

Also, any clue what to do with .ass files? No, that has nothing to do with the above. Just thought I’d ask since that is also getting popular now.

Everyone! Good grief, it’s sad to find such a forum where no one really has any decent answers. To play srt files with vlc media player, the name of the srt file MUST BE THE SAME AS THE AVI FILE! That’s it! Tada! So damn hard wasn’t it? Hope it helps some of you sad ppls.

Thanks for the tip:

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

I had a two part idea, I want to edit the .srt subtitle file to work over some crapy spelling and odd syntax. Then with the modified .srt subtitle run up a DVD with Nero9.

I have not worked with subtitles before. And have no clue where to start. But, I suppose if worse comes to worst cases I can hard code the subtitles and burn that output to a DVD with Nero.

There are 2 programs at present that can open .avi files and both are open source and free to download. Many users prefer to keep both installed to provide compatibility with as many file formats as possible.

VLC Player is a cross platform application with a mac version available for download from the VLC website.

MPlayer has a simpler interface but fewer features. It is available from the MPlayer website.

Any remaining AVIs not compatible with the above two, should be able to be handled by Mac OS 9 QuickTime or QuickTime for Windows, each of which have the older versions of the Intel Indeo codec.
