Subtitle playback

Question

Is there any application that I can only play the subtitle separately?

Subtitle files (SRT, etc) are text files with time information,
you can open and read them in any editor.

There are tools to create subtitle files easily,
Jubler - Create, modify or edit text-based subtitles.
I've never tried them, but, maybe they have some way to be used for you.

	I want to playback these subtitles in an application when I am watching a video in a player that does not support subtitle playback. – idursun Sep 20 '09 at 8:09
	hmmm, if you are working with text subtitles, that can probably worked out (maybe even for the prerendered subtitles). – nik Sep 20 '09 at 8:11
	Yes. I have text subtitle to a video that I can watch in a flash player on a website. I will start both at the same so I can follow subtitles as well. I hope there is an application, I don't want to write one. – idursun Sep 20 '09 at 8:14
	If nothing else works (and you do not want to write an app), you could recode the video to hard-subtitle it (not a happy solution). – nik Sep 20 '09 at 8:28
	Jabbler does not play unless I have the video, so I ended up writing a little application to workaround this. Thanks for suggestions anyway. – idursun Sep 20 '09 at 9:13
