The 5KPlayer stands strong among major media player for Windows. The 5KPlayer also allows users to view subtitle with video playing using the player, but most or sometimes, downloaded subtitle are off sync with the video that is, sometimes the audio might be faster than the subtitle or the subtitle. Choose a suitable for you option to add captions: manually or with a subtitle file. In the first case, click 'Add subtitle', write text and set timing. Then, in any case, select a font, its color, background, size, and alignment. Change the video format under the player. Save the SRT file with the subs if necessary by clicking on 'Download SRT'. On Ubuntu I use SMPlayer or SubDownloader, which both reliably retrieve subtitles from opensubtitles.org. SMplayer even does this automatically for the file you are currently viewing. So far I've tried SolEol, FileBot, SubDownloader (which is a bit behind on versions for Mac OS; seems like the API URL for opensubtitles.org changed).
Find video content with subtitles or alternative audio languages
Go to a movie or show's information page in the iTunes Store or Apple TV app, then scroll down to the Languages section.
Alternative audio languages are listed to the right of Additional. If a language lists only Subtitles or CC next to it, then the movie doesn't contain an audio track in that language â only subtitles or closed captioning.
Find video content with accessibility features
Go to a movie or show's information page in the iTunes Store or Apple TV app, then scroll down to the Accessibility section.
You can also search for 'closed caption,' 'subtitles,' 'SDH,' or 'AD' in the iTunes Store.
About iTunes Store and Apple TV app accessibility features
Accessibility features available in the iTunes Store and Apple TV app include closed captions, subtitles, and audio-described content. Availability of these features varies by country or region.
Closed-captioned content is a visual transcription of a video's dialogue, as well as any non-verbal communication. CC content also might help identify the speaker in a video.
Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing content is similar to closed captions, but SDH content might be available in some situations where CC is not, and might be available in additional languages.
Audio-described content uses a spoken audio track to describe what's happening onscreen. Learn more about audio-described content.
How to change the subtitle or audio language
If the video you're watching includes CC, SDH, AD, or alternative audio languages, your media player should offer a way to use these accessibility features, most often through the Audio & Subtitles menu, often indicated with .
Other apps or web-based media players might show a CC button or other custom controls.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you don't see an option for SDH, or you want to turn on CC or SDH by default, go to Settings > General > Accessibility. Scroll to the Media section and tap Subtitles & Captioning. Tap Closed Captions + SDH to turn it on. If you want to customize captions or subtitles, tap Style, then choose from the options.
To choose the audio languages that are downloaded with your videos, go to the Settings app, tap TV, then tap Audio Languages. Tap Add Audio Language to Download and choose the languages that you want to add.
On your Mac or PC
If you don't see an option for SDH, or you want to turn on CC or SDH by default, follow these steps:
On your Apple TV
If you don't see an option for SDH, or you want to turn on CC or SDH by default, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitles and Captioning. Choose 'Closed Captions and SDH' to turn it on. If you want to customize captions and subtitles, choose Style, then choose from the options.
On Apple TV (2nd generation) or Apple TV (3rd generation), hold down Select on your remote for three seconds while a video is playing to see the Subtitles tab.

All of the current versions of both hardware and software media players should have subtitle support. In order to play a video with an external subtitle file, the subtitle file name must be exactly the same as the video file name except with a different file extension. For example, if you have a video called raymond.avi, the subtitle for the video should be raymond.srt which is a standard for all media players to detect the availability of the external subtitle file. Searching for the correct subtitle can be frustrating because there are normally many versions of it and you need to look for the exact match or else the subtitle will be either too fast or too slow. Other than that, there are also a few websites that you can search and download subtitles.
The steps involved to search for the correct subtitle is just too much. You need to search, download, extract, rename and test. If it doesnât match, you need to go through all the steps again. In order to simplify the searching and downloading of subtitles that sync with the video file that youâve spent hours in downloading, here are 5 tools that can help you.
1.
![]()
Sublight is a powerful free software to manage subtitles that comes with a modern interface and ribbon menu. Not only it can search and download subtitles from multiple sources, Sublight can also edit, synchronize and publish subtitles. After 5 years in active development, Sublight has gained over 100,000 active registered users that constantly provides feedback by rating and reporting the correct or incorrect subtitles.
Searching for subtitles with Sublight is really easy. You can either choose the video file which it will attempt to determine the title of the video and year that it was released to further assist in locating the correct subtitle, or you can manually search by typing in the keyword. Click the Search subtitles button and within a few seconds the results of available subtitles to download is listed at the bottom. To download, simply right click on the subtitle and select âDownload subtitleâ. The subtitle file will be automatically downloaded, extracted to the same directory as the video and renamed accordingly.
According to our experience with Sublight, sometimes it takes a few tries to download the correct subtitle that sync with the video because it doesnât search using hash. Sublight works on Windows and there is both setup and portable version although the portable version is an older build without automatic updates.
Download Sublight
2. SubiT
SubiT is a simple and free program that searches for subtitles from multiple sources. The goal of this tool is to download the subtitle as fast as possible without hassle. You can either right click on the video file and select SubiT from the context menu where it will automatically search, download, extract and rename the subtitle file or you can run the program and load the video file from there. The program automatically closes after finished downloading the subtitle. If there are multiple versions available, it will be listed in the Versions box.
Do take note that by default SubiT searches only the Hebrew version of the subtitle. To change the default language, click on the setting icon located at the bottom right, go to Providers tab and tick on the language that you want to search for. SubiT works on both Windows and Unix operating system.
Download SubiT
3. ALLSubtitleSearcher
ALLSubtitleSearcher is a subtitle searching tool that has monitoring capabilities. Sometimes a subtitle for certain video takes longer to be created and uploaded to the database websites. Instead of constantly doing a search, you can use ALLSubtitleSearcher to automatically look for the subtitles at selected intervals. There are 2 ways to search for subtitle which is by right clicking on the video file and select ALLSubtitleSearcher or you can click the Add title button from the program.
After testing this program, we found that it is able to auto download and unzip the downloaded subtitle but the file name is kept the same. ALLSubtitleSearcher only support one database which is from OpenSubtitles.org.
Download ALLSubtitleSearcher
4. SubDownloader
SubDownloader is free for Mac OS X and Linux build but weirdly it is a 15 days shareware that cost â¬15 to purchase a license key. If you hate to search and end up with a subtitle that donât sync with the downloaded movie, SubDownloader would be your perfect choice because all the found subtitles are 100% matching as it uses file hash. You can either search for subtitles for individual videos or select the whole folder for batch search. It is also possible to search by movie name and upload subtitles to help out the community.
Although it is accurate, there is a limitation that sometimes even a matching subtitle may not be listed because no one submitted the hash.
Download SubDownloader
5. Subs Grabber
Subs Grabber is also a shareware that cost 15⬠with 30 days free trial. It is able to search for subtitles from 10 different database and pulls the movie poster and details from the database.
There are some limitations on Subs Grabber such as only allowing you to search for one subtitles at a time. Moreover the automation feature is lacking as it does not automatically unpack the downloaded subtitle and renaming it to the exact file name as the video.
Download Subs Grabber
Final Notes: We have also tested a few other subtitle searching software such as Oscar, Subtitles, OpenSubtitleSearch and SubCrawler but they did not make it to the list because they are not working. In our experience, Sublight would do the job most of the time but if you have extra cash to spend, you can invest on SubDownloader which we normally use it first to quickly find an exact matching subtitle, and then only turn to Sublight when it does not return any results.

Hey,
I just created a very simple program that fetches matching subtitles from Opensubtitles.org, which works really well. There are versions for Mac and Windows. You can also easily select which language you want the subtitles in. I made a website for it here repsacc.github.io
Please comment on the site at the very bottom to give me feedback :)

Hi there, chanced on your blog, looking for subtitle meta-search. Download lego mindstorm nxt software.
By the way â thereâs a little utility listed in the software section of opensubtitles.org, I think itâs called TimeAdjuster, itâs an executable (no need to install) and itâs really easy to use to sync a given subs file with your particular movie (I suppose as long as the CD count is right). Thereâs a picture tutorial on the site as well.
I was amazed how easily that worked, previously I had to used various sub editing software, it was complicated.
Check it out.

Tried again and now it works. Thank you!

Raymond,
Let me express my admiration for your work and for the constant quality and usefulness of the posts in your blog. I will eagerly try the software you mention as this problem is been bugging me for years now.
Anyway, if these software donât find the right subtitle for your AVI or if you just happen to have the only subtitles there is on the Internet for this unique and hard to find movie, SubtitleWorkshop from URUSoft is an excellent and complete tool to manually sync them to the movie.

Yet another great tip from your blog. Thanks again Raymond.
