This version 5.0.0 is too large

[Cyberyoda1411]

Will the final release SE 5.0.0 be the same amount of space as version 4.0.X? I can see that the beta version is over 100MB, while version 4.0.X is about 11.3MB. Even now, with all dictionaries and other things, version 4.0.X has 339MB (portable or installation version). Will SE 5.0 become too big?

Hmm 339MB.

Subtitle Edit 5 now bundles the .NET 10 runtime.

Subtitle Edit 4 depended on .NET Framework 4.8, which had to be installed separately.

Can't we assume that nowadays lot of people have it already installed on their system?

Please, include a batch file to delete useless files, in that case.

Even without the framework the package will still be around 50 mb - no way to change that.

[niksedk]

Hm, what do you guys think about including libmpv by default?

That will be nice

I don't use mpv at all. I use directShow.

SE 5 does not support DirectShow, sorry.

[uckthis]

I haven't used 5.0 at all. It doesn't open on my system for some reason. After downloading the portable version, double clicking on EXE does nothing. I even pasted exe in v4 folders and it still doesn't open. I'm happy with v4 for now, so didn't raise an issue.

[niksedk]

Using V4 is fine :)

SE 5 also requires Window 10+

[Cyberyoda1411]

If this will stay 100MB, I don't mind, because it will be pretty much the same as 4.0, because when you add at least one speech to text (for instance, cpp), and one vocabulary of 140MB, it will be pretty close to the 339MB that was present in version 4.0. Regarding to DirectShow, your video preview is excellent, libmpv Open GL is the same as directshow, I am satisfied. The only flaw in all of this is that I used to download 11.3MB of the new version, but I guess will have to get used to 100MB downloads.
