got movie - need to download Chinese dub & subtitles

[nsbane]

I've looked all over the site, but I still couldn't find the answer to my question. I've downloaded "Pirates of the Caribbean" - I'd like to add Chinese subtitles and a Chinese dubbed track, so I can listen and read in Chinese.

Any ideas where I can download this? Any ideas where I can download common American movies with the dubbed tracks & subtitles already in place?

Thanks!

Here are the Pirates movies. You'll need to download emule. Emule is slow, but you'll find more on verycd than through torrent sites. Movies with Chinese tracks are usually referred to as 国语版 or 国英双语版, etc. Here are two collections - 1, 2.

Another Western movie in Chinese post.

so you can try shooter.cn, it's a chinese website, download the subtitle, then change they name as the film, put them into the same file, then works.

I used shooter.cn a lot for downloading subtitles, they also developed a very nice video player as well, if you use their player to play movie, it downloads subtitles automatically from shooter.cn, no bother to find subtitles yourself.

The downloaded movies will not let you have the subtitles

unless they recorded with the subtitles on.

Why not buy a few Chinese dubbed DVD movies. They can be watched

over and over again, and you can choose the subtitle shown

on the screen so you won't get lost under any language / subtitle

combination.

Search Google using keywords "Chinese dubbed " PLUS the name of the movie,

e.g., "Chinese dubbed Journey to the Center of the Earth", and you should

see lots of them.

Our kids are attending Chinese school in Los Angeles, but don't

speak Chinese, and they have no interest in speaking Chinese. Our

approach is to get them their favorite movie and ask them to watch

in Chinese. That worked big time !

This is the website "Chinese Dubbed Movies"

from which we purchased a few movie titles this past holiday season

for our family, and the kids just loved them. They all come

with Chinese sound / English subtitle (and Chinese sound

/ Chinese subtitle, English sound / English subtitle, and

English sound / Chinese subtitle). We had the followings:

Journey to the Center of the Earth

Toy Story 3

National Treasure

Lord of the Rings (All 3 of them)

The Sound of Music

It's a Wonderful Life

Hope this helps !

Possibly because they have to attend Chinese school on the weekends when all their friends are playing. Learning Chinese then becomes a kind of punishment. I've met more than a few Chinese people who have grown up overseas who have expressed this sentiment.

Encouraging them to enjoy Chinese in their own time (movies, books, comics etc) is in my opinion a much better method, but it also requires a lot more involvement from parents in guiding their children in what to read/watch.

Thank you 90210, that's exactly what I've been looking for. If you have older kids, interested in war type movies, I found 3, yes 3, mandarin language movies at walmart here in kansas, one of them I can't remember which had a cantonese track on it too! I bought "The Battle of the Warriors."

This is false.

There is what is called "hard subtitles", in which the subtitle is part of the video stream. This is what was done for VHS movies, of course, and for VCDs I believe.

DVDs, in contrast, have what are called "soft subtitles". In this, the video stream has no subtitles, but rather they are stores as a separate file. When you enable subtitles, the DVD software reads the subtitle files, and displays them on the screen at the appropriate time.

Downloaded movies are of course typically not a raw rip of the DVD, but instead encoded into avi or mp4 format. However, many video players (e.g. vlc) are able to play a soft subtitle file along with an avi or mp4 file.
