Babelsubs is a Python library that helps you to convert from one subtitle format to another.

Via distutils:

$ git clone git://github.com/pculture/babelsubs.git
$ cd babelsubs
$ python setup.py install

Usage¶

dxfp_data = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tt xmlns:tts="http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml#styling" xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml" xmlns:ttm="http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml#metadata">
    <head>
        <metadata>
            <ttm:title>Just a test file</ttm:title>
        </metadata>
        <styling>
            <style tts:fontSize="12" tts:fontFamily="Verdana" tts:backgroundColor="black" xml:id="s1" tts:fontWeight="normal" tts:fontStyle="normal" tts:textAlign="center" tts:color="yellow"></style>
        </styling>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div style="s1" xml:id="d1">
            <p xml:id="p3" begin="00:00:39.667" end="00:00:40.300"> With end </p>
        </div>
    </body>
</tt>"""
