Not  just with films in languages I don’t speak well, like Japanese, but even  with English films or television series, like House MD.   Especially with a television series like House MD, if I want to keep up  when they start throwing around names like pneumothorax or  retinoblastoma. Today we’re going to look at a few different  ways of how to add subtitles to a movie or any other video file. We’ll  be discussing both the soft and the hard way – overlaying subtitles by  means of software, or burning them directly into the videos. Add Subtitles To A Movie File Using via Overlay Method   We’ll start out with the overlays, as this will be the fastest and most  easiest way of using subtitles with your movies. We’ll show you a few  alternatives, because contrary to popular belief, I do think people want  things to choose from. <a href="http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DirectVobSub.htm" target="_blank">DirectVobSub</a> Available for Windows <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-20-15-49.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   This is an external, minimalistic application that runs from the  taskbar and uses a DirectShow filter to overlay subtitles. This means  that you can use it with nearly <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/muo-polls-free-video-players-what%E2%80%99s-your-favorite/" target="_blank">all video players</a>, ranging from Media Player Classic to Real Player.   The wonderful thing about DirectVobSub is how little you need to do,  and how little you notice it. By default, no additional set-up is  needed. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/directvobsub10.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   DirectVobSub automatically looks for subtitles that show the same name,  both in the videos as in a \subtitles folder. Of course these settings  can be tweaked further in the program settings, if thought necessary. Nowadays DirectVobSub is a standard addition in most decent <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/an-introduction-to-codecs-converters-and-rippers/" target="_blank">Codec Packs</a>, like K-Lite. Otherwise, it can always be found <a href="http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DirectVobSub.htm" target="_blank">here</a>. <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/" target="_blank">VLC media player</a> Available for Windows <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-20-15-49.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Linux <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-20-17-38.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Mac <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-20-13-24.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> VLC media player is thought to be one of the best media players available.   One of the great things about the VLC media player is its standard  ability to overlay subtitles. Besides, the application can be used on  Windows, Linux and Mac systems. There are a few ways to get  our subtitles. The first, and probably easiest way, is to put them in  the same folder under the same name – VLC media player will then  automatically load them when the video is opened.   Additionally, you can always add subtitle files through the ‘Advanced  File Opening’ or the ‘Browse for Subtitles…’ options – located  respectively in the File and Video dropdown menu’s. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-20-26-46.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The application can be freely downloaded <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/" target="_blank">from the site</a>. There are also portable versions of VLC media player available. You can find the Windows version <a href="http://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/vlc_portable" target="_blank">here</a>, and the Mac version <a href="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21279" target="_blank">here</a>. Subtitle Burning (AVI) Tutorial for Windows <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-20-15-49.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Burning in subtitles means that we’ll put them directly into the video  source. This has the advantage of being playable on every platform (even  PSPs and iPhones), but the process takes a lot longer and you won’t be  able to remove the subtitles afterwards. Usually, subtitles are burned into AVI files. We’ll show you how to add subtitles to avi movie file in the tutorial below. Files you’ll need: <a href="http://www.virtualdub.org/download.html" target="_blank">VirtualDub</a> <a href="http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/subtitle_tools/vobsub.cfm" target="_blank">VobSub</a> (not to be confused with DirectVobSub) Decent video codec, like <a href="http://www.xvid.org/Downloads.15.0.html" target="_blank">Xvid</a> Step One: Installing Software Let’s start out by installing the software.   VirtualDub doesn’t have an installer, so it can be unzipped right on  your desktop or in another folder of your choice. No special options are  required during the Xvid installation either. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-20-44-11.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   During the VobSub installation, please make sure that you’ve selected  both “VobSub for VirtualDub” and “TextSub for VirtualDub and AviSynth”  under plugins. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-20-49-38.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> You’ll also need to specify the directory where you’ve unzipped VirtualDub. Step Two: Preparation Start by opening the VirtualDub application – open the VirtualDub.exe file in the unzipped folder – and open your AVI file. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-20-56-15.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Next, we’re going to be enabling the TextSub filter. Navigate to Video -> Filters -> Add… and locate it in the list. Select the TextSub filter, and press OK. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-21-03-45.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-21-04-32.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   In the pop-up window, press “Open” and browse to your subtitle file.  This file must be in one of the supported subtitle formats (srt, sub,  smi, psb, ssa, ass). When You’re ready, press OK. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-21-15-27.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Back in the video dropdown menu, make sure you’ve got Full processing mode selected, and go to Compression. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-21-19-21.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Here you need to select one of the available codecs. Xvid does a great  job for a free codec, and that’s the one I used. You can alter some  settings, and tweak the quality of the video if you press Customize –  however, if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’d best leave it be. Accept everything when you’re done. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-21-22-16.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Also make sure that the program’s set up to do a Direct stream copy of the audio; this doesn’t need any processing. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-21-27-11.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Finally, save the video somewhere on your computer, and wait for the process to finish. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-21-30-00.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   This can take quite a while and is quite memory extensive, so you might  want to leave your computer alone for an hour or two, and do something  else for the time being. If you’ve got big files to process, you can run  the application at night. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3-02-2009-21-34-47.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> IS IT WORTHFULYOU KNOW WHAT TO DO................</blockquote>
