Whats Difference between SRT & PGS ?

[PrinceSwaraj]

Hi VH

I have seen Videos with PGS and SRT subtitles , but I don't know difference between them
Can anyone explain that in simple words ?

Thank you
Respect to VH Staff and all Helpers !

SRT is plain text, PGS is a timed sequence of images (compressed bitmaps).

Yeah, kind of like the difference between THIS:

[.........................]
[.....MY_TEXT_HERE........]
[.........................]
[.........................]

(text-based subtitle)

and THIS:

(graphic-based subtitle)

Ok ...... I got that
and what are SDH subtitles ?
How's that different from SRT ?

Subtitles for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired includes description of sound effects in the subtitles like "music playing" ,"door opens" etc

SRT is a text based codec, which is in a completely different realm to SDH and non-SDH subtitles, which basically describes the content of the subtitles whether the subtitles be SRT, PGS or VobSub. SDH is more an extension of the Language (to include other sounds) then a type of subtitle.
