Hello guys. After weeks of tedious waiting, I finally received my MBP this morning, and needless to say, I was very excited and am in the process of playing around with my new toy! I'm only just learning to install/delete programs, and moving videos/music over from my desktop.
My problem is, I am used to downloading video clips along with subtitle files on foreign websites but I cannot get the subtitle files to work properly... I've tried Mplayer and VLC and they helped me to view my video files but none of them have been compatible with my ".smi" subtitle files. Normally I would use GOM Player ( http://www.gomplayer.com/) to view the ".smi" files but OSX is not supported by this. I haven't tried opening the more common ".srt and .sub" files yet, but those should work with my setup. Any help regarding playing less conventional file formats on OSX (especially ".smi" files) would be great! Thanks.

VLC should play your .srt and .sub files just fine.
For .smi, Quicktime should work, and (I hate to be recommending this on any platform) RealPlayer. -

sub, .srt and .smi all work in VLC. No dragging is necessary, just make sure the subtitle file has the same filename and are in the same folder as the movie file. If your movie is named XX.CD1.avi the subtitle files should be named XX.CD1.smi or XX.CD1.srt or XX.CD1.sub.
In VLC you should be able to see the subtitle file in the menu, Video --> Subtitle Track.
