Easy way to create .srt

We often see the subtitle on the videos (movies, video songs, etc...). Mostly it is from the .srt file.


Now i am going to tell you tell you how to create a .srt file for a video.


Step : 1
Select a .avi video file lets say test.avi and put it in a folder say Demo.Now open a notepad and go file menu click save as and save empty file as test.srt in Demo folder.
Note: video and .srt file must have same name.


Step : 2
This is an important step. 
To create a standard srt file the content must be written in a fixed format ie.


index number
birth time  --> death time  
Subtitle Text
here,


index number : Sequence of subtitle statement
birth time      : Time from which corresponding statement will be visible
end time       : Time till statement will be visible
Subtitle Text  : Statement to be shown on video.




Exa:




Step : 3
Now run the test.avi in any video player that have subtitle option enabled(eg. vlc, windows media player, etc..). You will see the subtitle working.


Enjoy....
