Frequently asked
Why use SBV instead of SRT for YouTube?+
YouTube accepts both. Some legacy uploaders and third-party tools require SBV specifically. For most people, SRT is simpler and more portable.
What does the output look like?+
Each cue becomes `0:00:01.000,0:00:03.500` followed by the caption text and a blank line. No cue numbers, no styling, no header.
Are line breaks inside a cue preserved?+
Yes — multi-line cues stay multi-line in the SBV output.
