Does Filmygod Com Offer Subtitles In English And Hindi?

I have also gone through some of the websites provided by the fellow pansot, filmygod. Here is my review of filmygod after going through some of the videos uploaded on it.

Just to explain how this works with the site filmygod - occasionally they supply subtitles in the form of an .srt file, (either English or Hindi), as a separate download or embedded softsubs that can be toggled on and off within the video player. Mostly though, there's just a video to download, no subs. (I guess it's sort of an extra - but usefull extra, I'd think). The quality of the subtitles supplied is generally terrible. Occasionally you'll get nice, clean English subtitles that are well-timed, but mostly it's very rough, machine-translated Hindi that's completely off.

I usually only expect mixed results from the user provided subtitles offered by this site so I would always look in the file list for movies for things like .srt or .sub files or even a zipped up folder that lists out ‘subtitles’ for the movie and lists out the languages for the available subs like ENG/HIN for English and Hindi subs respectively. I have in the past also looked up subtitles for movies on the user provided subtitles on ‘OpenSubtitles’ which I have found to be way better than the ones that are provided by the above site. Official streaming services of movies and TV shows always seem to provide the user with accurate subtitles for the movie or TV show.

For people who enjoy tinkering, filmygod's subtitles can be sort of a scavenger hunt. Subtitles on the website are listed in 3 forms - hardcoded (part of the video itself), softsubs (embedded within the video container, in downloadable formats like MKV or MP4, with tracks that can be selected), and external subtitles (downloadable as files with .srt, .ass, or .sub extensions). Of the three types, it is external .srt files that I find contain English subtitles most frequently, with occasional appearance of Hindi subtitles as well.

In cases where a file is downloaded without usable subtitles, you can first check the download page for a file with subtitles in the requested language. Most of the time such a file is included in the archive with the video. Some simple tools allow you to shift the time of individual lines, and to change the encoding to UTF-8, for example, which makes a big difference for Hindi subtitles that don’t display correctly. For streaming links, the CC functionality is not consistently implemented, so for such cases I recommend downloading the English subtitles for a movie from OpenSubtitles and then adding them as separate .srt files to your VLC player, for example. It’s not perfect but it works.

I managed to find out that filmygod also offers English and Hindi subtitles for most of the movies. There are some movies which have English subtitles for them (either embedded or as .srt files) and a few movies with Hindi subtitles for them. The quality of the subtitles, however, is generally left to the community, which results in poor timing and average quality of translations.

For particular language tracks that the site does not have, I search for a corresponding .srt on OpenSubtitles or Subscene and then I add it to my media player. This can sometimes get a bit wonky, however. Occasionally encoded Hindi text looks like gibberish. Changing the .srt file to UTF-8 typically resolves the problem. So, a bit of a patchwork process, but there is typically a solution if one needs a particular language track.
