Understanding SUB and TXT file formats

SUB files are subtitle files used in conjunction with video files. They contain the text of the subtitles along with timing information to ensure the subtitles appear at the correct time during video playback. These files are often used in media players to provide subtitles in different languages.

TXT files, on the other hand, are plain text files that contain unformatted text. They are widely used for storing simple text data and can be opened and edited with any text editor. Converting a SUB file to a TXT file involves extracting the subtitle text and saving it in a plain text format.
