NAME

subptools - manipulates xml subtitles files

SYNOPSIS

subptools [-hrsvw] [-a hh:mm:ss,ms] [-c first[,last]] [-d seconds] [-e seconds] [-i file] [-o file] [-t format]

DESCRIPTION

The subptools command performs various manipulations on xml subtitles files, acting as a filter from standard input to standard output unless -i or -o options are used.

subtools can be used to handle so-called xml subtitles files, where each subtitle entry is actually a filename to be substituted for the entry, or to adjust timestamps on each subtitle entry.

The options are as follows:

Adjust all time stamps so that the first tag begins at hh:mm:ss,ms.
Write only entries numbered from first to last, where last defaults to the last entry of the file.
Shift all time stamps by seconds seconds.
Expand the subtitle hour by seconds seconds.
Convert the xml subtitles file into a srt (default) or spumux file.
Display usage and quit.
Use file filename for input, defaults to stdin.
Use file filename for output, defaults to stdout.
Renumber all entries.
Substitute filename in each subtitle entry by the file contents.
Verbose mode.
Remove leading white space
