The SBV file extension is used to save YouTube Subtitle files. A subtitle file is a text file associated with a digital video file that is used to denote the contents of the video for individuals who are deaf or who may speak a language other than what the video is narrated in. SBV subtitle files use a.sbv extension, which stands for SubViewer. This file format was one of the earliest existing subtitle file formats, and while other extensions like.srt,.scc,.sub, and.vtt have become more widely used, the SBV format is still widely accepted and used by YouTube.
Technical Specifications
The body of an SBV subtitle file contains two colons; a text-based line, along with a time-code indication. The time-code indicates precisely when the line should appear in the timeline; usually measured in milliseconds. The subtitle synchronization can be adjusted using any video editing software program with support for .SBV interpretion. Generally speaking, when uploading to YouTube you should make sure you select the right format for your subtitles: .sbv, .srt, .vtt, or .scc. If you have an external subtitle (.srt,.vtt) or Closed Caption (.scc), it will be transcoded into a YouTube Video Manager supported caption format (either .sbv, .srt, or .xml) when uploaded.
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SBV) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SBV extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SBV file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SBV extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SBV extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SBV file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SBV file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SBV file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SBV file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SBV file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
