The SMI (SMIL Presentation) file extension is used for the synchronization of media elements for multimedia presentations. It allows users to create and edit multimedia presentations using W3C's SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) XML-based language. SMIL is designed for creating systems with synchronicity, such as interactive video players and streaming multimedia applications. By scripting and text files, SMI synch audio and video media streaming sessions. [ ⏩ ] SMI file extension

How to convert the file from SMI to SUB?
To successfully convert the SMI file to SUB, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.SMI). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case SUB (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than SUB).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. SMI to SUB. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting SMI files to SUB files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension SUB, while before this step we had the SMI file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new SUB file, or not.
