|-------------|---------------|
| Subtitles appear as “gibberish” (funny letters) | Save the .srt as UTF-8 encoding. Open in Notepad → Save As → select UTF-8. |
| Subtitles show but are 2 seconds late | In VLC: press H 40 times (or use Tools → Track Synchronization). |
| Only one line shows at a time | That’s normal for .srt. For two lines, find an .ass subtitle. |
| No subtitles at all after adding | Check if subtitle track is enabled (VLC → Subtitles → Sub Track → select English). |
