• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I recently downloaded a film that is in .ogm file format and plays in VLC fine (well in japanese) but it also came with another file that is .srt which holds the subtitle information, but it is not recognised by VLC. I've looked at the info files and it says I can use something call BSPLayer as that can recognise the subtitles but that is windows only. Does anyone know of a plug in or program that could help. I have Quicktime 7 Pro and VLC.

This I think should be addressed as it leaves us Mac users not being able to use the file format.

This happened to me using a .srt file I created from The Matrix and it didn't work in VLC but when I used an extention on quicktime it played in quicktime just not in the same window as the movie.
