VLSub VS ShellNewHandler

• Ease of Use
  VLSub offers an intuitive interface that integrates seamlessly with VLC media player, making it easy to download subtitles for your video files directly from the player itself.
• Wide Database Access
  The extension taps into the vast OpenSubtitles.org database, allowing users to access a large repository of subtitles in multiple languages.
• Free and Open-source
  As a free and open-source extension, VLSub allows users to contribute to its development and enhance its capabilities without any cost.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility
  VLSub works with VLC on various operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring wide compatibility for users.

Possible disadvantages

• Dependency on OpenSubtitles
  VLSub relies on the OpenSubtitles.org website for subtitle downloads. If the website undergoes maintenance or experiences downtime, subtitle access may be disrupted.
• Limited to VLC Media Player
  The extension is designed specifically for VLC, meaning users of other media players cannot benefit from its features.
• Potential for Inaccurate Subtitles
  Since subtitle files are user-generated, there's a possibility that some subtitles might not accurately sync with video content or may contain errors.
• Requires Internet Connection
  To search and download subtitles, an active internet connection is necessary, which might be a limitation for offline users.

• Can’t live without them

  Shout out to the VLSub add on that let's you download subtitles from vlc. A bit janky but works 90%+ of the time. Source: over 4 years ago

• First movie scene is 4x3, rest of the movie is 16:9, HB rips the whole movie at a cropped 4:3

  For all us purists, who prefer soft subtitles and the flexibility it affords, it gets somewhat trickier. Subtitles exist for almost all movies and television shows on the internet. They are actually reasonably easy to add to your videos... Source: over 5 years ago

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
