If the subtitles don't appear automatically, use these steps in VLC:
: Use G to speed up subtitles (if they appear after someone speaks) or H to slow them down (if they appear before). Each press moves them by 50 milliseconds.
: Open the video, then drag the subtitle file directly into the player window.
The easiest way to get subtitles working is to use a modern media player like VLC Media Player or MPC-HC .
