What is the ".srt" file?

The ".srt" file format, known as SubRip Subtitle, is a standard subtitle file format widely used for adding captions or subtitles to video content. This format is text-based and is particularly popular due to its simplicity and compatibility across various media players and software.

Key features of the .srt file:

• Time Code Markers: Each subtitle entry in an .srt file includes precise start and end time codes. These markers indicate when each subtitle should appear and disappear during playback. The time codes are formatted as hours:minutes:seconds,milliseconds (e.g., 00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:06,750).

• Subtitle Indexing: Subtitles are numbered sequentially starting from 1, allowing for easy reference and editing.

• Text Formatting: While basic .srt files support plain text, some advanced players and editors can interpret simple HTML-like tags within the subtitle text for basic formatting such as bold, italic, and underlining.

• Encoding: .srt files can be encoded in various character sets, including UTF-8, which supports a wide range of international characters.

• Ease of Editing: Due to its text-based nature, .srt files can be edited using any basic text editor, although specialized subtitle editing software can provide more sophisticated tools for synchronization and formatting.

• Compatibility: .srt files are supported by a vast majority of media players, streaming services, and video editing software, making them a preferred choice for subtitle distribution.

The .srt file's simplicity and flexibility have made it a de facto standard for distributing subtitles online and among different media platforms.
