What is the SRT file? How to open it? And the format of the SRT file is written

Did you mention this question because you downloaded a movie? The reason for this is because the SRT file is a SubRip subtitle file. When you watch the video, the subtitles below may be played through the SRT file. This is very understandable, so I think you already understand what the SRT is. Let's explore the role of the SRT file, the format and how to open the SRT file (two very different methods).

SRT file editing format and function

In fact, SRT file is a text type file, which means you can open it through a text editor such as Notepad, but this is not SRT. The purpose of the file exists. It is also mentioned above that it is a subtitle file called as a video player, and that is the purpose of its existence. But when we use Notepad or WordPad to open SRT subtitle files as text types, we can usually see the contents of the subtitles, where they are displayed in clear text, and allow you to edit them. The format of its content is usually divided into four parts:

1, a number, refers to the ordering of this subtitle. 2. Time refers to when the subtitles appear and when they end. 3. The subtitle itself. 4. A blank line indicates the start of a new subtitle.

Come, let's take a look at the contents of an SRT file:

1 00:02:17,440 – > 00:02:20,375 I said Mu Tong, you said What is the SRT file?

2 00:02:20,476 – > 00:02:22,501 Well, this question is well asked, I will write it out now.

You can understand the role of the SRT file by using the example above. And also know that you can open SRT files and edit SRT files through text editors such as Notepad and WordPad.

How do I make the SRT file appear in the video?

Usually when you see an SRT file, there should be a file in video format, such as AVI. This video file exists with the SRT file. We can open this video through a video player such as Storm Video, VLC (more used abroad), and the player will automatically load the SRT file and display it in the video, but one thing to note is that the SRT file should Same name as the video file, otherwise it may not load automatically. You can also load it separately, and this feature is generally available in video players. This is another approach to the two very different ways to open SRT files.

Sometimes the name of a SRT file may be a bit strange. If there is a movie called "love", then its SRT file might be written like this: love.zh.srt or love.cn.srt . Why is there a .zh and .cn? In fact, their role is to distinguish the subtitle language. If it is in English, it might be written like this: love.eng.srt.

In short, what is the SRT file? It is a subtitle file that can be opened or edited with a text editor such as Notepad and displayed in the movie via a video playback software call. If you still have some comments or questions, please leave a message and let us discuss.
