Format Details
SBV
SBV (SubViewer) is YouTube's simple caption format: each cue is a start/end timestamp pair followed by caption text. It is plain text, easy to edit, and commonly used when downloading or uploading YouTube captions.
SUB
SUB (MicroDVD Subtitle) is a subtitle format that stores timing as video frame numbers rather than absolute timestamps, making it intrinsically frame-rate dependent. Each subtitle entry uses curly-brace notation for frame numbers and supports basic inline formatting. SUB is a legacy format from the DVD ripping era that is still supported by major media players, though SRT and VTT have largely replaced it for new subtitle content.
