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.
