SubRip is a free software program for Microsoft Windows which extracts subtitles and their timings from various video formats to a text file.
[12] It can optionally save the recognized subtitles as bitmaps for later subtraction (erasure) from the source video.
After trial and fine tuning, SubRip can automatically extract subtitles for the whole video source file during its playback.
[21] The SubRip format is supported directly by many subtitle creation and editing tools,[22] as well as some hardware home media players.
However, output options are also given for many Windows code pages as well Unicode encodings, such as UTF-8 and UTF-16, with or without byte order mark (BOM).
On August 28, 2008, YouTube included support for SubViewer and SubRip, allowing existing videos to be retroactively subtitled.
