About SRT
SRT (SubRip Text) is the most common and widely supported subtitle format. It's a simple plain text file that contains sequential numbers for each subtitle, start and end timestamps, and the subtitle text itself. Its simplicity and universal compatibility make it the go-to choice for most web videos, streaming platforms, and local media players.
About DFXP
DFXP (Distribution Format Exchange Profile) is a profile of the more general TTML standard. It was created to standardize subtitle delivery for streaming services and is famously used by platforms like Netflix. It is an XML-based format that contains rich information about timing, styling, and positioning, ensuring high-quality, professional, and accessible captions for digital distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add colors or change fonts in an SRT file?
No, the SRT format does not support any styling. It is a plain text format. If you need styling, you should use a more advanced format like VTT or ASS.
What does 'hearing impaired' mean in SRT files?
Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH) often include descriptions of non-verbal sounds, like '[door slams]' or '[music playing]'. While SRT can contain this text, VTT is often better for more structured accessibility features.
Is DFXP the same as TTML?
DFXP is a specific implementation, or 'profile', of TTML. Think of TTML as a large toolbox with many options, and DFXP as a specific set of those tools chosen for a particular job (web streaming). While a DFXP file is a TTML file, not all TTML files are valid DFXP files.
Do I need to worry about DFXP as a casual user?
No, DFXP is a professional delivery format. As a user, you will almost never encounter DFXP files directly. They are processed and delivered by the back-end systems of streaming platforms. If you are creating subtitles, you will typically work with SRT or VTT.
