Format Details
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.
MPL
MPL2 is a simple subtitle format used primarily by the MPlayer and MPV media players on Linux systems. It stores subtitle timing in units of 1/10 second and subtitle text in a compact, line-based plain-text structure without formatting codes. MPL2 is lightweight and easy to generate programmatically, making it suitable for basic subtitling where advanced formatting is not required.
