How to subtitle a movie with an SRT file
The problem arises when we have the film downloaded on a pendrive or on the computer and we want to play it with a video player. Many times video.MP4 files do not have embedded subtitles.
Don't worry, you can get an SRT file. These files contain information inside that will allow you to add subtitle tracks to your movies. You can download it from your browser with the name of the film or, in the case of a series, with the name and chapter.
