    If you place the subtitle file in the same folder as the movie, you can go to video>subtitles> and it should appear if it's a recognised file. The subtitles will then just play. You can also load a subtitles file manually in the open dialog.



    I think they have to be .srt subtitles. There are converters out there though.

    You may need to go to the Video menu and then select the Subtitles Track to get it to play. If the subtitle file is named the same as the video file (just with a different extension) then you shouldn't have to manually open the subtitle file. You would just need to go to the video menu and select your subtitle track.

    Can you post a link to the .srt file you downloaded?

    The subtitles file works for me in VLC but it's full of unrecognised characters. What language is it supposed to be in? Maybe you need a certain font to see it. If you open the .srt file in textedit, you can see the times and what the words will show up as.

    I rarely need subtitles but if I do, I just use whatever site comes up with what I need. Often the subtitles are included with the movie.



    I think the main one I've used is this one:



    http://subtitles.images.o2.cz/



    but this one looks interesting:
