How to Get Your PC to Show .SRT File Subtitles

Captions turn sounds into words on screen.

When you want to watch a movie in your computer you are not limited in functionality just because you're not on a television. When someone uploads a movie to the Internet for download, many times he will include the .srt file along with the actual movie file. If you need or want to view subtitles during the movie, you need to have the .srt file that goes along with your movie file regardless of what type of file it is.
