459408 2006-05-31 08:25:00 Hi, a friend gave me "The Last Samurai" on a dvd-r and its about 900 megs or whatever..

I am wondering if there is anyway I can get subtitles while its playing as half the movie is in japanese

Cheers,

Subtitles are usually on the DVD. Not something u can download and load separately. While watching it, with whatever program.

459410 2006-05-31 08:40:00 my mate downloaded the initial d movie, and found subtitles for it on the net... in .srt form? but i have no idea how he did it what MrBeef (342)
459411 2006-05-31 08:51:00 Hire the movie from a video store. It an old movie now so probably on the cheap shelves. It will have the subtitles and will be a better quality watch anyway than 900MB of downloaded.

Adding subtitles is not easy - but can be done I think with virtualdub, but probably not worth the effort.

VideoLAN Client is your friend, easiest way to play a video of any type and its dead easy to make it load subtitles.

459414 2006-06-02 01:36:00 I have done this heaps for my sister (who is deaf). Found the subtitles on the net from the link that chill gave and then put the movie and the subtitle onto my xbox which then plays them no problems in XBMC :thumbs:
Can also use Media Player Classic for viewing a movie with downloaded subtitle files.

459415 2006-06-02 01:49:00 There are also a few DirectShow plugins that can insert the subtitles directly into WMP. I think this (sourceforge.net) was one of them, although it's been a while and I'm not certain. Erayd (23)
