Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default How do you filter for subtitles (Close captioning)

I want to download only those videos that have subtitles (in the UK) or close captioning (in the US). How do I do that?

In video search I know I can click 'More search options' and get a 'Subtitles' entry box. Am I correct assuming that this 'subtitles' means words on the screen for any speech on the video and not alternative titles for the main title. If so what do I enter: Yes or Subtitles or what?

Does this enable me to search for 'subtitle' videos or is there some alternative method?

Failing any way of searching for subtitles is there a method of using filters to isolate subtitles from a search? Which leads me to ask a question about filters. I know that when a filter has several options you have to highlight the option you want, such as mp4 on the 'type' filter, to filter out the mp4's in the full search. But what about a filter that has only one option, do you have to select & highlight that filter before it is active? I ask this because there is a 'subtitle' filter with just one option.

I am sure that there are many folk out there who need subtitles to follow the plot, because of hearing or background noise problems. Please can someone give them a method of either searching or filtering to ensure that only 'subtitled' videos are downloaded.

Thanks

I am not sure. But, you can type in the search like this -> (title) - subtitle
& see if that has any kind of success.

Most videos on LW that have subtitles do so in languages other than english (which can be hilarious when watching a horror movie).

You can obtain subtitles free of charge from

DivX SubTitles - Best place on the net for DivX, DVD and HDTV subtitles!

You should check torrent sites for DVDs, as many come with subtitles in multiple languages. LW can handle up to 5 torrents at once, so you don't need another torrent client. However, if you find torrent downloading better suited for your needs, you should use a better client, such as Vuze (Azureus) or uTorrent.

If you have trouble with the above link try DivX SubTitles - Best place on the net for DivX, DVD and HDTV subtitles!
