How to Play SRT Files on VLC
VLC, or VideoLAN Client, is an open source free multi-format video player. The VideoLAN Project created it but now has moved to the GNU open source license. This video player is designed to be a one-stop shop for playing different types of media, from videos that usually play in Windows Media Player to Quicktime, which is the default player for Macintosh computers. The program also plays videos seamlessly with subtitles, which are embedded in .srt files.
