Grab subtitles for all your movies
23Aug2008 Filed under: Softwares Author: ArjunAs you may know, subtitles are textual versions of the dialogs in films, usually displayed at the bottom of the screen. Subtitles are something that many people prefer on their screens while watchng a movie. You can get subtitles for the movies you have.
Subdownloader is an opensource program that locates and downloads subtitles for your movies. You can download and upload subtitles for video files with extension DIVX,MPEG,AVI,etc. Subdownloader uses a fast hashing algorithm that tears through about 4GB of movies per second. It will search through folders and subfolders and can even look after seasons of television shows. You can also manually search for a subtitle if you need it for a file that isn’t stored on your PC.
Subdownloader is available for all the three platforms, ie. Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Note: You need to install Python in order to run this program.

This software will be a little pain in the ass as we will have difficulty in matching subtitle with the movie. Instead use http://www.opensubtitles.com and get all the subtitles easily, as you can download the correct ones by reading the description (the ripper or recorder name). I think you got my point. Cheers

@ Ashish: Subdownloader gets subtitles from http://www.opensubtitles.com among a few other sites. It displays a list of the subtitles it finds and also shows the downloads each file has had. So it’s pretty easy and works really well.
