I finally set down for a couple of hours and started working on this thing I’m thinking on for a few weeks now – Automatic Subtitle Searcher.

The idea came to me thanks to my wife that always encounter with problems trying to find a matching subtitle file to a (Legally) downloaded movie, sure… it’s pretty straight forward easy for us guys… but when it comes to selecting the most suitable version out of 10 option, taking into consideration the Codec version, Movie Ripper, number of parts and frame rate, it takes more than she understand and want to understand on the matter, so I end up finding the subtitles myself in the end.

The solution in my mind was a context menu that will pop up on .Avi file type that direct you to a subtitle search engine (pre customized at first) and out of the search results (If any) will download the best matching version considering Codec/Ripper/Frame rate/etc…

I must admit that I’m only starting to implement all features but I decided to share it at this early stage any way since it’s still easier then searching manually, Hopefully over the next week I’ll complete the rest and upload an improved version.

Right now it has an installer that adds a Context menu to .Avi files that direct you to the search result page (the tool searches the movie name after substracting the codec/ripper/year/etc…)

The upcoming versions will contain the following features:

1.       Find the best matching subtitle according to codec/ripper/frame rate and downloading it automatically to the movie’s directory

2.       Setting page for selecting more than one subtitles resource

3.       Automatically update the tool on a new version without reinstalling

4.       Preview after download, re-download other version if doesn’t match

I’ll be happy to receive any ideas for new features, and of course contact me if you encounter with any bug.
