SBV to SRT Converter

About This Tool

This tool converts SubViewer SBV subtitle data into SubRip SRT format, addressing compatibility gaps in video players and editors. It reads SBV blocks, extracts the start and end times, and maps them to the SRT timing standard with precise formatting (HH:MM:SS,mmm). Text lines within each cue are preserved, including multiple lines per cue. The conversion process numbers cues sequentially and ensures a clean, standard-compliant SRT output suitable for ingestion by most players and editors. Conceptually, the tool treats SBV blocks as temporal segments and encodes them into the explicit index-based structure of SRT while normalizing time precision to millisecond granularity. It supports multilingual content by preserving Unicode characters and avoiding lossy transformations. Benefit users include video editors, translators, and archival teams who receive SBV assets and need a reliable, automatable path to SRT. Unique value lies in strict adherence to SRT timing syntax, robust handling of multi-line cues, and predictable outputs suitable for batch processing. Core features include: automatic parsing of SBV timing lines, normalization to 00:00:00,000 format, block-based cue extraction, multi-line cue preservation, and UTF-8-safe output. Use cases span project handoffs, captioning pipelines, and rapid subtitle resyncs after timing adjustments. The tool avoids nonessential formatting or styling, focusing on correctness and compatibility across common video platforms.
