There is also an option to analyze existing subtitles for problems like lines with to many characters, empty lines or overlapping times. But analyzing is not the only automatic option that Submagic offers. There is also a very extensive error fixing feature that can fix more than 20 common problems and errors of subtitles including the correction of ocr errors, removal of line separators or the fixing of quotes. Several fixes contain multiple choices that the user can chose from.

The Edit tab can be used to search subtitles, find and replace text and to insert, add, delete or split them. The final tab in the editing process is the synchronize tab which can be just to finetune the display of the lines in the movie.

All of this would not be helpful if there was not some kind of movie preview feature to test the subtitles. That’s possible in the Play Movie tab which also lists some of the commonly used functions mentioned earlier on in the article. It is for instance possible to insert or delete lines directly or to shift and stretch the lines to synchronize perfectly with the movie.

Another interesting option is the movie converter which can be used to convert movies from NTSC format to PAL and vice verse. The final tab contains general options that define how parameters like font sizes for the subtitles, the default screen format and several others like colors or directories on the computer system.

Submagic is a sophisticated well thought out application to work with subtitles. Beginners might feel a bit overwhelmed by the features and settings but it should not take more than a few minutes to get to know the subtitle editor. Impatient users might try their luck with one of the various subtitle downloaders like subtitle downloader, sub download or subtitle download instead.

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.

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.

Download Divx Subtitles is just one software that can be used to search for and download subtitles. It is using the database of the popular subtitle website GetSubtitle. The database contains subtitles for movies and television series in various formats such as srt or sub which are supported by various media players.

The search is probably the easiest way to search for subtitles as it reduces the hits tremendously. The search results can be filtered by language and format. The releases are listed by language, format, data and number of CDs. There is however no information about the total playing time which could mean that you have to test various subtitles before finding the right one.

The program is pretty easy to use but directs downloads directly to the website from where the subtitles can be downloaded. An alternative all in one solution is subtitle downloader which does all of this directly in its interface.

The main window provides two panes and a header toolbar. The left pane is a folder browser which an be used to point Subdownloader at a folder which is then automatically scanned for video files. The automatic identification takes place and movies that have been identified are displayed in the right pane with all known subtitles from the database.

By default all languages are shown but the header toolbar provides a way to filter by languages. If you are after English subtitles you can simply select that language and only English languages are shown. The subtitles can be selected and a click on the Download button which is also located in the main toolbar starts the download. That button is misplaced in my opinion, it would make more sense below the subtitle pane.

The subtitles are automatically downloaded in the same directory as the videos and most video players recognize them automatically.

Movies that have been identified are automatically pepped up with IMDB information like rating and a link to the page for further information. You also got a play button to automatically play the video with subtitles from within the interface if a movie player is configured in the program’s options.

There is also the possibility to search for and download subtitles instead of scanning video files. That’s pretty good if you don’t have the video files on the main computer.

Sublight is directly connected to the Subtitles On Net community which maintains a large database of subtitles. The program provides an easy to use search for subtitles and an option to pick a local video file and search for its subtitle. This has the additional benefit that both can be played in your favorite media player right away without having to move the subtitle into the right directory on your pc.

The subtitle search works flawlessly and it’s possible to change a few settings to decrease the time it takes to find the right subtitle to add. You can filter for languages for instance which obviously makes sense. It is furthermore possible to set a year, episode or season if that is known.

The results list is then showing the subtitles that were found for your search querry. If you have selected a local video you can simply double-click the subtitle to play the video with it. Not all applications can be used though, it was tested with the likes of Media Player Classic, BS Player and VLC but it should work just fine with additional ones.

Sublights provides a very convenient way to search for and add subtitles. The database is large enough to hold most popular movies in it.

The major disadvantage of subtitles so far has been accessibility in my opinion, at least when you take a look at watching movies on your computer. You have to know the websites and forums that provide users with subtitles and it’s more of a burden than fun to do that.

Sub Downloader [via Genbeta] could change that. This software scans various subtitle databases returning a list of subtitles for the selected movies. By default subtitles in all languages are returned which can be changed in the program’s options. If you only wanted to find and download English and French subtitles you could edit the settings accordingly.

The subtitles are automatically downloaded into the right directory. What I really like is the fact that you can dump the contents of a folder into Sub Downloader to search for subtitles for all videos at once. The tool can add two options to the right-click menu that search for subtitles when you click on that option. Again both single videos and complete folders can be submitted.

Sub Downloader is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

You can then pick a language from the available languages and subtitles are automatically shown if they do exist for the show. If you register an account with Subjoost you can add and request subtitles. There are not that many subtitles available currently but this will surely increase over the next days with all the news coverage the service is getting.

The good thing is that it is a community driven project which will surely mean that we are going to see more subtitles pretty soon. Take a look at the available subtitles on the website that displays all existing subtitles.

It would be a great service for his visitors if a Spanish webmaster would add Spanish subtitles to English videos that he found on Youtube for instance. The second is to create new content by adding the subtitles. This can be done in a humorous way, to add a comment or additional sources.

The interface of Overstream is easy to use. Users have to signup to be able to add subtitles to videos though. Once they are logged in they can use a url from a supported video portal to create a video with subtitles. The video is loaded into the interface and subtitles can be created by choosing a interval on the timeline. By default all subtitles remain for three seconds on screen which can be changed in the interface to suit your needs.

Basic video controls are available to test the subtitles. The user can stop, pause, forward, rewind and play videos. Videos can then be saved and are published on the Overstream website. Another nice feature ? You can load and save subtitles in the srt format.

The only downside at the moment is the lack of videos on the website. Roughly 900 are available which is probably the figure that gets added to Youtube each minute.

I’am not speaking about movie downloads here – although that would be a possible application as well – but about legal purchases of movies that have been created in Asia and Scandinavia. Many of those movies have no synchronization and English subtitles which would mean that I would not be able to enjoy the movie.

I usually search subtitle databases such as Open Subtitles for the title and download the English subtitle if available. Subtitles are available in numerous languages all added by a dedicated bunch that create them for free.

The database contains more than 285000 subtitles sometimes even more than one. A search for Fight Club for instance had 258 hits for various languages and versions.

A nice feature is that you may search for subtitles in a certain language which really reduces the hits for every search that you conduct.
