How to Open an .srt File Extension
The Subrip format, which has a file extension of ".srt," is used for caption files that are read by video player programs such as Windows Media Player and iTunes. Subrip format files are more commonly known as subtitles. These subtitles can be opened with special programs that are made to run them in conjunction with the movie you are watching. However, it is possible to just open and edit the file with any text editor program such as Notepad or WordPad.
