Subtitles consists of a command line tool, 'subs', and a Perl backend that provide a means for the simple loading, re-timing, converting, and storing of movie subtitle files.

The supported formats include .srt, .sub, and .smi. It can easily be extended

Movie files can be viewed with subtitles, which are currently very popular as the text files.

Usage:

Warning: -i is a great feature, but use it with certain caution.

If subtitles are shown too early ( 5 seconds):

subs -i -b 5 file.sub

If subtitles are for a movie in 25 fps, need to be for 24
( actual for frame-based formats only ).

subs -i -a 24/25 file.sub

If subtitles start 1 second too early, but in 1 hour are late in 7 seconds:

subs -i -p 0 -1 -p 1:00:00 +7 file.sub

Join two parts with 15-second gap

subs -o joined.sub -j 15 part1.sub part2.sub

Split in two after 50 minutes and half a second ( makes basename.1.sub
and basename.2.sub ).

subs -o basename.sub -s 50:00.5 toobig.sub

Remove closed caption-specific comments such as '[Sneezing]' or '[Music playing]'

subs -e 's/[s-]*[.*]s*n*//gs' sub.sub
