SubRip is a software program for Windows which "rips" (extracts) subtitles and their timings from video.[1] SubRip can extract from live video, video files and DVDs, then record the extracted subtitles and timings as a text file, and can save the recognized subtitles as bitmaps for later subtraction (erasure) from the source video.[2]
Subrip is also the name of the subtitle format created by this software. The caption text files are named with the extension .SRT. This format is supported by most software video players and subtitle creation programs, detailed in the article Comparison of media players.
In practice, SubRip is configured with the correct codec for the video source, then trained on the text area, fonts[3], colors and video processing required[4] to recognize subtitles. After trial and fine tuning, SubRip can automatically extract subtitles for the whole file during playback. SubRip records the beginning and end times and text for each subtitle in the output text (.SRT) file.

- Text of subtitle (one or more lines)
- Blank line[5]
