Can someone please help me. I think I'm going crazy.

My friend bought me a DVD. He doesn't like piracy so he didn't want me to download the movie. So I have the original dvd. However the DVD is only in Portugese. I need english subtitltes. I downloaded them online.

How can I watch the original dvd unripped with downloaded subtitles. I want to watch it on my laptop. I tried using VLC to load the subtitles. This works when I download movies but isn't working with the original DVD.

I have tried everything I can think of for hours. Ideas???

VLC start movie, then pause.
Video > Subtitles Track > Disable > Open File.

I tried that. When I click open file...nothing happens. That was the first thing I tried. I don't know if it's a bug in VLC or if it won't load subtitles for original dvds.

The dvd comes with spanish and portugese subtitles, but I want to watch it in English.

Is this a bug. It's not greyed out. It just doesn't do anything when I click it. I thought it might have something to do with looking at the actual dvd. So it won't allow me to open the..."Open File" menu.

I have tried that as well with VLC, and I can load subs for different video files, but not for DVDs...don't know if there's a setting that I am missing.

Try KMPlayer(free), works for me to load an external sub file while playing a DVD.

Try dragging the .srt file on top of the movie when it starts playing - it works for me.

The easiest solution. I never think to drag and drop. It's more a mac solution. It worked great. Thank you!!!!

I don't know why the menu wouldn't load it. It must be a bug.
