make the movie and subtitle name exactly the same and keep both the files in the same folder ...if the movie player supports subtitles it will show subtitles automatically

i am using zoom palyer with k lite codec pack which uses the direct vobsub filter for subtitles...there is a option in direct vobsub to make the subtitles come early or come late....which player you are using

Not sure what player you are using... but try GOM player. In it, when you play the movie, right click and go to subtitles >>> subtitle explorer and sync the subtitles by using the delay / forward by 0.5 secs options... then save it..!

@ Vinit:

Use VLC player and then play the video file and for the subtitles (u must be having a separate file with a .srt extension) so jus drag and drop that subtitle file too in the VLC player (where the video is playing)

Cheers n e-peace...

Every one of them who has posted has not mentioned one important point.
The subtitles of a movie is dependent on the frame rate of the movie.
If the movie has 23.97 frames, then the subtitle should also be in 23.97 frames too.

Hi...
Download and Install a free software called Subtitle Workshop...
Open ur subtitle file in that and go to edit-->Timings-->Set delay..

now play ur movie separately in WMP...note down the times when u hear the first spoken line and the last spoken line.

enter these values in set delay dialog box...save the subtitle...copy the subtitle file in the movies folder and start movie again..Problem Solved..

I am using VLC player to view my files...
The subtitles appear before the dialogues, how do I correct this? I do not wish to install any software, standalone applications will do....

you do not wish to install anything???? well...... Its an application (software in other words) cant figure out whats the difference. But yes you have to install it to use it. For what ever reason you do not want to install, just thought to let you know i have been using it for years now and found out to be perfectly safe and effective too.
