I might be late to this party but I recently noticed a VLsub option in VLC itself that makes manually adding subs way easier. It’s not automatic like the other tools mentioned but it’s still a huge time saver. Protip I noticed if you’re struggling to find a movie with it, just drop the imdb tt code into the name search box.

I used to find it had something to do with the explorer thumbnailer finishing up but sort of not letting go. It would happen if I had pictures or videos on the USB drive, and if I got the error I could go to another folder like my documents, drag a picture into another folder, go look at the pretty new thumbnail, then I could remove the USB drive because the thumbnailer was ‘parked’ back on the C drive. Sounds like I’m making it up but I swear it worked.

EA did 9/11

I had this movie at the top of my list stuck at 71% for at least two years. Hundreds of other torrents came and went. Its easier to find it these days.

Totally worth it

At least the US government was trying to fix it back then.
