.srt is supposed to be a captions file. Just standard text.

As tomcctv stated, often used in point of sale systems (overlay transaction data of the cash register on the video feed).

 

Try opening with notepad in windows and see if it opens as a text or gibberish.

If it opens as gibberish then the system has used .srt file extension with some other file format.

I got it figured out, thanks for all the help people

 

turns out it was a stupid time stamp subtitle file that went with a .wma audio file that was a confidential overhear  (wearing a wire)

 

I put it all into video pad, synched the .srt file with the wma as audio and added a black screen and exported everything as a .mp4

 

and excelsior   it was a time stamp for the audio section

 

later
