The SRT file extension stands for SubRip Subtitle, a text-based subtitle file format used by video playback applications such as VLC media player and Mplayer. This format is generally used to store subtitles in various languages for movies and videos.The SRT file format is one of the most basic and straightforward subtitle formats, making it an ideal choice for both amateur enthusiasts and professionals.
A standard SRT file consists of a sequence of sections. Each section consists of four parts: a sequential number, the starting and ending times of the segment, and the subtitle itself.The numbers must be consecutive without gaps, and the sections must be sorted by their starting times.Each part is separated by a new line marker, with the timing information and subtitle content written on two separate lines.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SRT) 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 .SRT 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 .SRT 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 .SRT 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 .SRT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SRT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SRT 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 .SRT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SRT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SRT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
