SubRip is a software program for Windows which "rips" (extracts) subtitles and their timings from video. It is free software, released under the GNU GPL. SubRip is also the name of the widely used and broadly compatible subtitle text file format created by this software.

SubRip 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.

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.

1. Iesi din casa bai nu astepta ziua aceia Ca sa vina moartea sa te ia. Stiu ca teai obinuit sa nu faci nimic De aia fiecare clipa o traiesti plictisit Mai dati o shansa trageti o palma pe fata Si cred ca nu e tarziu sa incepi o noua viata De ce nu te ai adapta la viata rea Si continui sa traiesti din imaginatia ta ........................................................................................

ref: E usor, fara griji, sa traiesti ca un vagabont fara nimic Nu ai bani si nici masina si te intrebi de ce fetele te resping ........................................................................................ 2. Ai scapat ceva? crezi ca e tarziu deja ? Te simti un retardat Si crezi ca misiunea ti sa terminat Hai nu fi stupid, trezestete un pik Si vezi ca lumea e la fel ca tine Adunati fortele propuneti dorintele Crede in ambitie si lumea te va asculta Nu mai fi asa timid, ca viata cum tiam spus e rea. ........................................................................................... ref: E usor, fara griji, sa traiesti ca un vagabont fara nimic Nu ai bani si nici masina si te intrebi de ce fetele te resping ........................................................................................... 3. Nu vreau sa fiu ca tine, pentru ca sunt ca tine Si nu merita sa ashtept ziua de maine Incerc sa gresesc, sa ma umilesc Ca merita fiecare momen trait firesc Nasoala e viata privita dintro parte Cred ca o sa fac si asta intro alta etapa Acum e timpul meu e si timpul tau Merita sa risti cai bine cai rau...

ref: E usor, fara griji, sa traiesti ca un vagabont fara nimic Nu ai bani si nici masina si te intrebi de ce fetele te resping

Unicode support
