original website

True that the original website is now ads, so I added back an archive of the original website for historical context. --Lexein 08:39, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The original website still exists: http://membres.lycos.fr/subrip/. I changed the link. 84.192.54.66 (talk) 14:17, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good - it was all ads for a while. That was weird. --Lexein (talk) 13:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

question

Would it be possible to add some type of metadata where for eg. the srt file's language would be defined? Once this enhancement is available, players will be able to pick it up in their menu. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.154.145.224 (talk) 09:45, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can do this by naming the subtitle the same as the as the avi + .language. e.g:

movie-name.avi

movie-name.English.srt

movie-name.Spanish.srt

DirectVobsub (Windows) and SMPlayer (Linux) will show the language in their menu. 84.192.54.66 (talk) 18:06, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You could also mux the subtitles into whatever container the video and audio are in. Matroshka will let you add a name and language as metadata to the subtitle tracks. MKVToolnix would work. 78.34.126.145 (talk) 02:58, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What encoding?

This crucial information is missing from the article. I have not been able to locate any information on what character encoding the .srt format dictates. UTF-8 would be the sane choice, but seeing how this information seems to lack everywhere I look, one could fear that the .srt format does not dictate any specific encoding at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joachim Michaelis (talk • contribs) 13:54, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record (I realize this was posted 10 months ago): I don't think any encoding is "dictated", but ANSI is used by default if there are no non-latin characters, but you're free (and prompted to when non-latin characters are encountered) to select a different encoding. 78.34.126.145 (talk) 02:55, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

mmmm

Python code? WTF —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.220.0.226 (talk) 14:27, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting for deletion

There are serious issues with this article that have not been corrected since the initial AFD posting back in November. If they cannot be resolved I will be relisting this for deletion next month. Thanks, JBsupreme (talk) 08:06, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cease decimation

There are two easy to find WP:SECONDARY book sources.

One shows multiple examples of the SubRIP file format in use, so I'm restoring the example of SubRIP format sans positioning parameters.
One cites the Zuggy SubRip website and provides screenshots and SubRip explanations. The zuggy site, its News and Guide pages have all been stable for at least 5 years, and should now be considered a stable source of status info about SubRip development. It's certainly not a forum and not a blog...

These resolve the "original research" and "no encyclopedic sources" tags. --Lexein (talk) 13:45, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
