    normally just have the srt file with the exact same file name as the avi file and its picked up automagically ...

    (extension being srt of course)

    It could be that the subtitle track isn't selected... Video-Subtitle track... if there's a subtitle track there you can select it. That's the only way i've ever seen subs work.

    Try putting "subtitles" into google and redownload the subtitles for the movie you have

    Learn to use .MKVs with mPlayer or Spiral ;)

    Copied this from another forum, but its what i do:

    " You can do this by naming the .srt file to have the same name as the divx file you would like to associate it with. For example, if your video file is myvideo.divx, then your .srt file would need to be called: myvideo.srt "

    Then you need to click options (i think) in VLC and then subtitles and select the subtitles you want to use (although it should just start automatically)
