Rename sub window video window. It was a bad idea to name the video window "sub window" at the time the GUI was written. The term "sub window" does make sense from the programmer's point of view, but it doesn't make any sense at all from the user's point of view, because the sub window simply is the window where the video will be displayed. Moreover, since the term "sub" is generally short for "subtitles", the renaming makes the code much easier to understand.
