Open a .sub file

What is a .sub file?

• A .sub file contains the subtitle for a video file. There are also some video formats in which the subtitles are already included in the file, but the subtitles are often moved to a separate file.
• Most of the time you can start the file together with your video. For this, the .sub file would have to be in the same folder as the video file and have the same file name. Alternatively, you can open the subtitles later using the video player.
• Both ways are best done with the Audio- and do the video player "VLC Media Player". The free software can not only play all common multimedia formats, but also supports all common subtitle formats.

This is how the file opens

1. If you haven't installed VLC Media Player yet, download it from the official site and install it.
2. Then go to the folder where the video and .sub files are located.
