SUP is a raster image file. SUP files store video subtitles as bitmaps, which are extracted from DVD or Blu-ray movies. SUP can be supplied to translators that are to prepare translation for given movie. SUP files can be converted to plain text using an OCR program.
File with.SRT extension contains movie subtitles saved in text format.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the SUP file after converting to SRT may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from SUP to SRT to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting SUP to SRT does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in SUP format, properly converted to a SRT file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your SUP file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to SRT on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the SUP file in its original format (without conversion to SRT file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
