Subtitles, Context Menu Subtitle Search

If you are like me you like to watch good movies regardless of their language. I dig Japanese and Korean movies for instance, unfortunately for me I do not speak more than a few words of either language. Some shows or movies are great even without understanding a single spoken word, Gaki no Tsukai comes to mind for instance which is mighty funny even for non-Japanese speaking folks.

Subtitles on the other hand are helpful in many other cases. They are sometimes included on the DVD or rip so that it is possible to start watching right away.

A search in subtitles databases like Open Subtitles will often yield the desired subtitle. That’s fine if it remains a rare process.

Some developers have automated the process. Subtitle downloaders like Renaissance, Subtitle Search or Subs Grabber offer semi-automated processes that often can retrieve subtitles for multiple shows and videos at once.

Subtitles 1.0 adds a context menu entry to Windows Explorer to find subtitles for a selected video file. The program displays a large list of available languages to select from before it opens a web page with the search results.

Only the subtitles database of Subtitles.com.br is supported by the software. That, and the fact that it is not possible to remove unnecessary languages from the context menu are our biggest gripes.

Subtitles 1.0 is a comfortable program nevertheless, especially for users who need to find subtitles occasionally. Subtitle downloaders are the better option for if subtitles are needed regularly.

Subtitles is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the Windows operating system. (via Addictive Tips)
