The SubRip file format is "perhaps the most basic of all subtitle formats." SubRip files are named with the extension .srt, and contain formatted plain text. The time format used is hours:minutes:seconds,milliseconds. The decimal separator used is the comma, since the program was written in France. The line break used is often the CR+LF pair. Subtitles are numbered sequentially, starting at 1. The sections must appear in numbered order in the file, and must also be sorted on start-time. Two sections can not overlap time-wise. | The SubRip file format is "perhaps the most basic of all subtitle formats." SubRip files are named with the extension .srt, and contain formatted plain text.
