Attaching spanish subtitles
I have quite a few movies on DVD that are Spanish language with English subtitles. Usually I turn off the English subtitles because I don't want to associate the Spanish spoken in the movie with the English words appearing on the screen. However, there are several movies where I had always wished there were Spanish subtitles so I could associate the spoken Spanish with Spanish vocabulary. I found out this week how to do this.
First, download and install two free programs: VLC Media Player and Bitripper. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/M...bitRipper.html Now put your DVD into the computer and open Bitripper. The program should see the DVD in your computer. Before you start ripping the DVD, go to "Settings" and at the top you'll see a menu under "Video" that says "Codec". Choose "Xvid-Mpeg-4 codec". Click OK and start ripping. This will create an AVI file on your computer. When the ripping is done (about 30-45 minutes) go to the folder with the AVI file and rename it to the movie title. So you end up with, for example, La Misma Luna.avi. Next, you will need to download the subtitles. I use this site: http://www.opensubtitles.org/en Enter the movie title in the Search Box, pick Spanish from the drop-down menu, and if the file is available, download it to the same directory as your AVI movie file. This file should have an .srt or .sub extension. Rename the file to the exact name of your movie, ex: La Misma Luna.srt Now open your AVI movie with the VLC Media Player. Go to the "Video" menu on the VLC player and choose "Subtitles Track", then choose "Open File". Load your subtitle file and you're ready to go. Some of the movies I've done this with are: "La Misma Luna"; "María Llena de Gracia"; "Sin Nombre"; and "Rudo y Cursi". For you Spanish speakers learning English, the exact same process will apply, but using English subs with English movies. Enjoy.

Very useful your post, really it will can help them with the subtitles.
Until I need sometimes the software, because I bought movies without English subtitles.

¿Directamente? No creo que sí.
Pero, se puede convertir el archivo AVI con subtitulos al DVD usando este programa. http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/ Es poco complicado y cuesta $49.99 US, pero lo he usado y funciona muy bien y rapidamente. Buena suerte

Me sorprende. Con mplayer sí que puedes (aunque tiene un bug y hay que manipular el .srt para ver subtítulos que duran más de 7 segundos).

I add spanish subtitless to all the shows and movies that I download using torrents. It helps a ton with learning Spanish. www.solosubtitulos.com is where i find the spanish subtitles.
TIP: If your .avi movie file and .srt subtitle file have the same name and are in the same folder then VLC mediaplayer automatically plays the subtitles. |

¿Pero no se puede estampar el .srt archivo al DVD, verdad? Los DVD de que estoy hablando son los que compré en tienda. Son legítimos. Muchísimas gracias.

Hay otro programa de los mismos programadores, mencoder, que convierte vídeo entre formatos, etc. Es probable que te permita hacer una imagen de disco, aunque dudo que pueda grabarla al disco sin otro programa. No tengo grabador de DVD, así que nunca lo he intentado, pero sí que he añadido subtítulos al contenido de un DVD y lo he convertido en una imagen de VCD en un solo paso.
