  1. Wrong FPS (Frames Per Second): If your video is 23.976 fps but the subtitle is 25 fps, the dialogue will drift out of sync. Use software like Subtitle Edit to resync.
  2. Hardcoded Chinese Subs: Many Asian torrents have Chinese subtitles burned in. You cannot remove them. Always look for "Raw" or "Clean" video files before adding Vietsub.
  3. Missing Season 4: Some Vietsub archives only cover Seasons 1-3. Season 4 (The final 10 episodes) is harder to find. Search specifically for "Black Sails S04 Vietsub srt."
