The popular open-source VLC video player was demonstrated on the floor of CES 2025 with automatic AI subtitling and translation, generated locally and offline in real time. Parent organization VideoLAN shared a video on Tuesday in which president Jean-Baptiste Kempf shows off the new feature, which uses open-source AI models to generate subtitles for videos in several languages.

    And yet they turned down having thumbnails for seeking because it would be too resource intensive. 😐

      It is useful for internet streams though, not really for local or lan video.
