The main feature that puts Renaissance apart from similar subtitles download programs is the fact that it can automatically scan for subtitles based on the name of the video files. All the user needs to do is to point the program to one folder on the hard drive. The program will automatically scan the specified folder for video files and display them in the program interface sorted by folder.

A click on the search button in the interface will initiate a search for subtitles that fit the file names. Those that are found are displayed with IDs next to the listed videos.

A checkbox is provided next to each subtitle that has been found. A click on the download button will initiate the subtitles download for all selected videos. The language of the subtitles can be changed from English to dozens of other languages.

Renaissance scans the Open Subtitles database and other subtitles databases that make use of the OSDB protocol. There is also an option to view IMDB information about a selected video if available by clicking on the IMDB tab in the program.

One thing that is missing is a manual search option in case no subtitles are located by the automatic search. Renaissance is available for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating system. It has been developed in Java which means that Java needs to be installed on the computer system for the program to run.

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.
