I use the tool in Anki to generate furigana and can confirm that you do need to check the output for errors. It's not always clear how to pronounce a certain kanji in a certain context, even to a computer!

I don't know which video player you use but with VLC (VideoLAN) it's pretty
straightforward. If you have a movie called Movie.m4v, you download your subtitles from
wherever and put them in the same directory and name them Movie.srs. Fire up VLC, start
your movie and you are done (you might need to switch on subtitles under audio but mine
defaults to doing that anyway).


I just use my computer and it has Windows Media Player, but maybe I can figure it out at some point. I'm not even 100% sure about downloading, but I will give it a try later and see what happens. I think having Japanese subs might be nice if I can get them.

Japanese subs are a godsend... also, it isn't quite as much cheating as using English
subs, which removes the need to understand Japanese whilst watching Japanese media.

Also, personally, I wouldn't recommend core, because I found it dreadfully boring and
stopped before reaching 100 cards... and looking at some sentences later on, I don't
regret that decision. The sentences are also all written in N5/N4-grammar. The only
thing positive about them is that they are correct and that there is audio.
They won't do you any bad unless Anki is your only source of Japanese, though...

This is an extreme example of 99% Anki:

Well I am remembering what turned me off from Anki a while back. It's hard to use. Seems like it's designed for programmers. I can't figure out where to put the sound files I downloaded for the Core 2k6k Sentence Audio... instructions say to Place in the Anki deck .media folder. I thought that meant Anki/media or something but I don't see any such folder. I then dug around in the help files and it mentions putting user data in the documents folder where I found an anki folder. It has User1. The User1 folder has a folder called collections.media. So I unzipped my file there. Still no sound. Argh. Reason why I want to use Anki is I am really thinking the whole SRS system it uses look better thought out than the program I'm using. Sound would be really cool though.

I've wasted 30 minutes on this. I think I'm gonna give it up for now and go study Japanese.

Having put German aside in favor if focusing more on Japanese was
a good idea. I'm thinking in japanese a lot more. My brain is playing
with vocab both consciously and unconscious and grammar etc. And
I'm on top of my srs deck for a change hehe.

Regarding the anki deck. I am currently using that 8k sentence deck
since it has no audio for me to miss out on. It's awfully easy. The
biggest thing I'm learning is new japanese names that my textbook
doesn't use. I get a little practice just reading and using structures.
It's kind of good that the structures are easy for me since they stick
easy. So I'm pretty happy with it. I'm upping the new cards to 40 per
day since they're so easy I just hit the strong correct button a lot of
the time on the 1st view.

If they are so easy, why don't you just delete them? No need to add new cards to your
review schedule from which everything in it is stuff you learnt long ago.

yeah I thought of that but some of them teach me something. Either by using a Japanese name that I hadn't seen or maybe a new word. I haven't seen a new grammar structure but they're using よう which I only learned a few weeks ago actually. So a lot of cards are still ok. Some are silly easy. I could delete them but it's just as easy to press the strongest correct response and they will hardly show up at all anyway.
