SubRip

SubRip is a free software program for Microsoft Windows which extracts subtitles and their timings from various video formats to a text file. It is released under the GNU GPL. Its subtitle format's file extension is .srt and is widely supported. Each .srt file is a human-readable file format where the subtitles are stored sequentially along with the timing information. Most subtitles distributed on the Internet are in this format.

SubRip is a free software program for Microsoft Windows which extracts subtitles and their timings from various video formats to a text file. It is released under the GNU GPL. Its subtitle format's file extension is .srt and is widely supported. Each .srt file is a human-readable file format where the subtitles are stored sequentially along with the timing information. Most subtitles distributed on the Internet are in this format. ==Software== Using optical character recognition, SubRip can extract from live video, video files and DVDs, then record the extracted subtitles and timings as a Subrip format text file. It can optionally save the recognized subtitles as bitmaps for later subtraction (erasure) from the source video. In practice, SubRip is configured with the correct codec for the video source, then trained by the user on the specific text area, fonts, styles, colors and video processing requirements to recognize subtitles. After trial and fine tuning, SubRip can automatically extract subtitles for the whole video source file during its playback. SubRip records the beginning and end times and text for each subtitle in the output text .srt file. SubRip uses AviSynth to extract video frames from source video, and can rip subtitles from all video files supported by that program. Font color – <font color="color name or #code">…</font> Tags can be nested to combine multiple styles within a line. However, some implementations do not interpret tag positions in detail and instead apply the style of the first tag that appears in the line to the entire line, effectively treating it as a single-style segment. Also unofficially, text coordinates can be specified at the end of the timestamp line as X1:… X2:… Y1:… Y2:… . ==SubViewer== In 1999, Brain created SubRip, and a friend, David Dolinski, created SubViewer, who offered it for download on his personal website. SubViewer was included in the DivX media player. On August 28, 2008, YouTube included support for SubViewer and SubRip, allowing existing videos to be retroactively subtitled. ==See also== Closed captioning Timed text Avidemux List of free television software MicroDVD SubStation Alpha Universal Subtitle Format DirectVobSub – able to extract subtitles from a DVD without first extracting the files from it ==Notes== ==References== ===Citations=== ===Sources=== (Software release page.) ==External links==
