sub2srt - Convert subtitles from ".sub" to subviewer ".srt" format

(c) 2003-2005 Roland "Robelix" Obermayer <[email protected]> Project Homepage: http://www.robelix.com/sub2srt/

sub2srt is a simple tool to convert 2 common subtitle formats (microdvd and subrip - both are known as ".sub") to subviewer ".srt" format. This is the format ogmmerge accepts for multiplexing into ogm streams.

This is Beta Software! Use it at your own risk! It works fine with several files I've got, but it may fail with your's. It's a quick hack written without any docs about the file formats - I just had a look how the files look like. Please report bugs, problems, patches... to [email protected]

What it does not:

It does not - and will never - convert DVD-subtitles or vobsub. Google on if you need this ;)

Installation:

Not necessary ;) - it's just a single perl-script. But you may want to copy sub2srt to a directory that's in your $PATH - like /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin.

Usage:

Run sub2srt --help to get more info.

Requirements:

Perl

License:
