My friend likes to stream movies through Netflix on her 360, and the problem with this is that Netflix does not usually provide subtitles or captioning on anything but foreign films. A few select videos on their website are captioned, but Xbox users are out of luck. Me being hard-of-hearing, I can't watch the movie.
Now, I can sit at an angle where I see both my laptop and the TV. I also know that many movies have subtitles uploaded (probably illegally, but I place full blame on Netflix for alienating the deaf community).
Using these two facts, I had an idea for a program that would display subtitles on my screen as the movie plays. I can't find anything that will just play subtitles alone (preferably in huge text so I can see it clearly while watching TV).
Does such a program exist?
I love it when someone asks exactly the question I came to ask :) – Joe – 2015-03-04T12:45:24.153
Suppose you have .mp4 file and it is 1 hr long. And you have .srt file. Rename both of them as abc.srt and abc.mp4. Make sure, both are in same folder, then play the video i.e. double click the abc.mp4 to open it in VLC player and you will see your .srt file is being played by VLC. This way, you can play any .srt file with VLC without having to worried about video. However, you will need 1 dummy video to make it work. Thanks. – shakeel – 2018-03-26T10:21:45.533
