Importing External Subtitle Files

You can import subtitles that are in an external file for the playback of Blu-ray Discs**, movie files, TV shows, and pinned YouTube videos. CyberLink PowerDVD supports the following external subtitle file formats: ASS, PSB, SSA, SMI, SRT, SUB, VTT.

Note: ** you can import external subtitles in the ASS and SRT file formats only for Blu-ray Disc playback.

To import an external subtitle file, do this:

Note: you can also drag and drop a subtitle file onto the CyberLink PowerDVD UI during playback to import it.

1.During playback, click on the button (or right-click on the media window) and then select Primary Subtitles > Import, or Secondary Subtitles > Import.

2.In the dialog that displays, browse to and then select the subtitle file you want to import.

3.Click the OK button to import the subtitle file.

Note: CyberLink PowerDVD will also automatically import any supported subtitle files it finds in the same directory as the movie file it is playing back. You can import up to 10 subtitle files, but can only display a maximum of two during playback.

Once imported, you can change the font style, position, and encoding in settings if required. See Subtitles Settings for more information.
