Any one use a downloaded version of a subtitle converter program?

 

Quite lot of movies and TV series, especially from places like RARBG have subs in sub/idx format, which is fine when watching on the computer but my Samsung TV does not recognize these so have so convert to .SRT. 

 

There is a program   https://subtitletools.com/convert-sub-idx-to-srt-online  -  that does sub/idx to srt conversion online, which is fine but a bit of a pain if the site is busy and it takes long time to convert a series of 20 or more episodes.

 

I've had a Google but can't find any program to download that would do batch conversions that I could just set up and let run to do it's job without my having to watch it. 

 

Cheers   

Have you tried this ??

And it does command line conversions

Subtitle Edit command line conversion

Subtitle Edit can do command line conversion between formats listed in the main window format drop down list.

Syntax: SubtitleEdit /convert "pattern" "name-of-format-without-spaces" [/encoding:?] [/fps:?] [/outputfolder:?]:

Example:

SubtitleEdit /convert *.srt adobeencore

Result: Will convert all .srt files to Adobe Encore format

Example 2:

SubtitleEdit /convert *.srt adobeencore /encoding:windows-1252

Result: Same as above but using windows-1252 file encoding (see Info.Name list for more encodings)

That's a subtitle editor, more complicated than for what I'm looking for 

 

With the online converter you just select the two files sub/idx and click convert.

I've usd subtitle edit too...its easy to use it to convert between formats...just open the subtle file and then "save as"...whatever new format,yes it has other very powerful options but no need to use them just to convert formats.

 

 

I seem to remember Subtitle Workshop does that:
