Advice
- This method has also been tested with Windows Vista and VLC 0.8.6
- This will only work if you have Macintosh OS 10. x or higher because VLC will not run on OS 9. x or earlier.
- The subtitle file must match the frame rate of the movie (for example, 25 fps). You can check the frame rate of the movie with right click> Properties.
