README
This Python 3 script converts legacy Quicktime text tracks to SRT format. Before running, please convert text tracks to UTF-8, using TextWrangler (http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/ ) or another text editor.
You will need Python3 to run (https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/)
To run: 1. Create a folder named "text_tracks” inside the “simpleSubtitleTrack” folder.
In Mac OS X Terminal, set the current directory to “simpleSubtitleTrack”.
Example: cd /Users/yourname/Desktop/simpleSubtitleTrack
Run the "convertToSRT" script in Mac OS X Terminal:
python convertToSRT.py Or python3 convertToSRT.py
(Depending on your installation)
A folder “simpleSubtitleTrack/srt” should appear with your converted text tracks.
