Subtitles can be a great way, sometimes the only way, to watch a movie in a foreign language. And SRT files are videos' subtitle files, storing dialogue and commentary form videos including movies and television shows. SRT subtitle files are so useful that they can be usually embedded into videos to help viewers understand the videos better.
Supposing you have a truckload of downloaded MP4 movies in foreign language, but the devoid of subtitles in these movies drives you on the verge of collapse. Have you ever created your own movie with your recordings but found your clips are difficult to understand? One feasible solution is to add SRT, the most basic subtitle format, to MP4 video file.
