The last two divx flicks I watched - 10,000 B.C. and Lust, Caution - needs subtitles. The people in 10,000 B.C speaks good english but some speaking parts uses unknown languages. Lust, Caution, directed by Ang Lee is in Chinese. Torrents of foreign language films are often bundled with an .srt file which is the file for the subtitle. To be sure if a torrent comes with a subtitle, you should look at the file name. There's a code thing going on in the torrents world. If there's something like [sub] somewhere in the torrent's filename, then a subtitle is included, either on the film itself or as a separate .srt file. If there's no subtitle file included, never worry. there are lots of websites offering free subtitles for downloaded movies. Try here for some samples.And since i'm a VLC fan, here's how to make the subs appear on the video:
1. Open VLC media player.
2. Open the divx movie.
3. Click on Settings....then Preferences.
4. Click on the small arrow button before the Video option to expand the video settings.
5. Click on Subtitles/OSD
6. Click on browse next to the Use subtitle file text box.
7. Browse and select the .srt file of the movie you are watching.
8. Click OK.
That's it. The subtitle should appear after a few seconds. And while you're into foreign language viewing mode, try these titles: The Orphanage, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and Pan's Labyrinth. Happy viewing and reading!
