I was looking for ways to use external subtitles with DVD movies and have found several solutions (amongst others, MPC-HC).

But I was surprised that VLC was not a solution here - and I imagine some settings are possible. I have tested different settings for the Video Output, but then the subs disappeared etc when for a moment it seemed to work: subtitles may disappear from time to time or appear for too short a time, or they may fully disappear after seeking back or forth withing the video.

I have tested this in Mac, Windows and Linux.

Are there some tweaks under the hood in order to make it work in VLC?

Yes, all you have to do is open the subtitle file in VLC's Menu Bar.

Subtitles > Add Subtitle File...

Add an external subtitle file to VLC while watching a video

Browse for an appropriate subtitle file (example: subtitles.srt)

If the subtitles are not synced with your audio, use the h and j keys to adjust subtitle delay offset.
