For those of us dating/interacting or what not with Chinese it’s a bit awkward trying to watch English films with them unless you have subtitles.
I’ve found the best places to find subtitles for DVDs (or DivX backups) is http://shooter.cn/. Although the website is all in Mandarin it’s quite simple to use.
- Type in English title of the film you want subs for
- If subs are available you will be now presented with a list of different subtitles sources.
- Each source will have under it what type of subtitle it is, eg Vobsub;Subrip and what it is suited for DVDs, DivXs etc.
- Click on the suitable subtitle link
- On the new page, midway down you’ll see either a . ZIP or .RAR file link.
- Click on it
- Click the download button in the middle of the page.
- It’ll now display a list of download mirrors, click any to download the subs.
If you don’t know how to get subtitles to work with films there is heaps of tutorials around, good luck.
