About SUB_MICRODVD
MicroDVD is a frame-based subtitle format, which means its timings are based on video frame numbers rather than timestamps. For example, a line might be defined to appear from frame 1000 to frame 1050. This can be very precise, but it also means the subtitle file is tied to a specific video file with a specific frame rate. If the frame rate changes, the subtitle timing will be incorrect.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use frame numbers instead of time?
Frame-based timing can be very useful for video editors who work on a frame-by-frame basis. However, for general distribution and playback, time-based formats like SRT are much more flexible and reliable, as they are not dependent on the video's frame rate.
What happens if I use a MicroDVD file with the wrong frame rate video?
The subtitles will go out of sync. For example, if the subtitle file was created for a 25 fps video, but you play it with a 29.97 fps video, the subtitles will appear progressively earlier or later as the video plays.
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.
