New version (1.10) of vroksub released. I added a lot of features that have nothing to do with subtitles. It can now download covers and data from imdb and save it to a nfo file along with your movie. It can create folders for your movies, you can change the naming format for both the file renaming and folders. You can set an output path so that each movie with subtitle will be moved there and more. Get it on the first post link.

I made this program so I can run it using a shortkey before I start searching manually for subtitles. So it doesn't only appeal to opensubtitle visitors but every other site as well. There's nothing to lose by running it first before searching manually on subscene.

It doesn't have anything to do with being "afraid of the web", but more the flexibility of adding our own enhancements or modifications without the restriction of waiting for the developers. The subtitle community is, after all, one based on sharing and collaboration, so it seems pretty logical that we should all be allowed to contribute. It also saves you time and effort :)

As for OpenSubtitles, I agree that the movie hashing is an extremely handy feature, but it is potentially exploitable. If you're going to create an "Automatic Subtitle Downloader" for OpenSubtitles, then perhaps OpenSubtitles is the best place to announce and advertise it, and not here? After all, what use is it to subscene if it can't be used with subscene?

You are right about the opensource thingy.. I'm thinking about it :) I didn't realise that people are so much afraid of the web.

About subscene I'm sorry but it's not the same. Opensubtitles does a search with movie hashes. This means that whatever name, fps etc your file has, it will get you the correct subtitle for sure.

I agree with Vince... moreover if it only uses a site, one could directly go there and get the subs they want, couldn't they?

It's a nice app, but maybe the main concept needs expanding a bit?

Thanks :)

Nice, but 2 things.

1. It uses OpenSubtitles and not subscene.Why? Subscene is much better imo, and faster too.

2. No source code? I don't generally trust .exe files that don't provide source.

Automatic subtitle downloader UPDATED 1.10 Version

Just released this simple command line program that automatically downloads subtitles for your movies. You just pass a folder path and a preferred language list and it searches for subtitles using your avi files.

Example: vroksub.exe "c:\my videos" gr,en

This will first try to locate a greek subtitle for every movie in c:\my videos (including subfolders) and if it doesn't find one it will try to find one in english. You can use more language codes if you'd like.

Download it here: VrokSub
