Daffy D Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 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.

johng Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 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.
