Videos comes with added functionality such as a subtitle downloader, the ability to speed up or down playback, create screenshot galleries, and support for recording DVDs.

We are proud to announce Videos 42.0 as the latest stable version.
This new version stops relying on clutter for its video output. The old GNOME media-keys API was removed, and replaced by builtin MPRIS support.
The subtitles and audio tracks selections are now made through a separate menu. A number of new keyboard shortcuts were also added, which can be found in the keyboard shortcuts dialog.
