Introduction

The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) and perhaps others tend to use the rather obscure subtitle format known as ttml Timed Text Markup Language . Most video players and software tend to use the much more mainstream format called srt.

For a while I've been using ttconv written by sandflow in Python. While I'm sure that covers vastly more edge cases and what not, installing and setting it up is a chore! and it's weirdly slow (it's Python so maybe not entirely a surprise).

I'm a simple man with simple needs and so ttml2srt was born, it's a single binary with a single purpose take ttml and spit out srt and do it quickly.

Downloads

If you want to grab a static binary ready to go simply click on the release tab, this is for x86 Linux only. For other platforms you'll need to compile from source.

How to build from source

Just use the standard Rust cargo toolchain to build from source. Alternatively to build a statically linked binary, just run the handy build script ./build.sh.
