Where to download Englsih movies with Spanish Subtitles?

Or Spanish movies with English subtitles.

I use isohunt but I've been through most that they have to offer unless someone has a search tip I am unfamiliar with.

I'd really like a torrent site. I'm not crazy about the Ares type programs but I will one if it's worth it.

My wife doesn't speak English so it's nice to watch subtitled movies with her. If I watch anything that is at all complex in Spanish, I like to have subtitles because my Spanish isn't that good and I have to have to be too alert to understand all the different Spanish accents.

There have been lots of tips about streaming TV, English Colombian news and other stuff - maybe a PBH Colombian media guide would be a nice addition to the site.

The Pirate Bay.

You could just type the name of the desired movie into a search engine, followed by "torrent" if you know what you want.

Try it

mininova.org is the best organized and it will say in the torrent despription if they have the subs or not.

your best option is to goto a site like http://www.subtitlesource.org/ then see which movie and their associated torrent files have the spanish subtitle then d/l that one... e.g. a search on benjamin button shows there's 7 different torrent files that have spanish subs...

I like downloading full dvds so my quality doesn't drop and most don't have subtitles. I use a private torrent site, but then download the subtitles from http://www.opensubtitles.org/en and sync them. It can be a real pain in the ass sometimes, but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad. I've found very few movies that did not have subtitles on the site.

Honestly, It'd be easier to just go out and buy pirated DVDs on the street. We used to buy them from a guy in Neiva's main park who even guaranteed his product. Normally, I don't advocate or condone piracy, but DVD prices in Colombia are outrageous. In the US, we just use Netflix, but even the rental options in Colombia are way overpriced for the average person.

We also use Netflix which lets you watch several movies by using your internet account. We used to watch every movie with Spanish subtitles and have moved up to English subtitles. Next stop... no subtitles needed land.

I sometimes watch them on the computer as well. However, I haven't seen any of the streaming movies that have subtitles. Hulu does have captions at least for a lot of their shows.

You normally procure the movie and the subtitles separately. Except if you can get the full DVD version (not so painstaking if you have a fast connection), then it may come with Spanish subs built in.

Say you're downloading a. avi type file sized for 1CD. Look on the free subtitles sites for a companion subtitles file in .srt format. You may need to experiment with various versions to find one synced to the movie you chose (videos use different frame rates, or the studio introduction at the start being present / not present can throw your subtitles file out of sync).

You can use a program vobsub to show the subs on the fly while using Windows Media Player. Or there is one media player that superimposes your .srt files automatically (I think it might be VLC?). Your .srt file needs to have exactly the same filename as the video file to be picked up and played.

You're right... I didn't think of that. I've never watched the movies on the computer since we get them in the mail but my sister has and she said she clicks on it and it starts playing, so of course... no subtitles. Good catch CG.

Torrents at: www.piratebay.org.

Seach for movietitle and djfred. You would find all the movies you need, all very good quality.

Thanks for those subtitle sites. What a big help

I have my computer hooked up to my TV. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yep. Years ago, when I bought my first HDTV, I made sure to get a non-burnable DLP with a PC port. Now I have a few LCDs as well, but also with PC port. Also, most decent video cards these days support HDMI.
