If you only got one video and subtitle it is probably not a big thing to rename it manually but what if you got a full tv season of your favorite show?

SubDude has been designed to automatically rename subtitles to match the names of the movies. The software program comes with a graphical user interface which can be used to point it to a folder on the computer system. The subtitle renamer will automatically rename the subtitles to match the names of the videos. Regular expressions are used to match the videos and subtitles and the program usually does a very good job at finding the right matches.

It is furthermore possible to create an undo file in case something goes terribly wrong during the process. There are also two options to add the program to the context menu and send to shortcut in Windows.

SubDude is a portable software program that can be executed from wherever the files are unpacked to. It comes with a ini in the data folder that can be used to edit the regular expressions used to identify matching videos and subtitles.

It usually does not take longer than a day or two before the first subtitles are provided on the Internet.

Subs Grabber is a tool that can be used to download subtitles. The tool provides an easy to use interface to search for subtitles. The user has to enter a search term, pick a language and hit the GO button to perform a search.

All three subtitle databases will be searched and displayed in the interface. The top pane contains the titles of the movies while the lower pane will list the available subtitles for the different versions of the selected movie.

Subs Grabber integrates itself into the right-click Windows Explorer menu so that it can be used to right-click a movie and perform a search for it in the software.

The vast databases of the three services ensure that lots of subtitles can be found using the subtitles downloader.
