Understanding SUB and SUP file formats

SUB files are typically subtitle files used in conjunction with video content. They often come paired with an IDX file and contain bitmap images of subtitles, rather than plain text. These are commonly found in DVD rips and are known as VobSub subtitles.

SUP files are also subtitle files, but they are specifically used for Blu-ray and HD-DVD formats. Like SUB files, SUP files store subtitles as bitmap images, but they are formatted differently to be compatible with Blu-ray players and authoring tools.

Why convert SUB to SUP?

Converting SUB to SUP is necessary when you want to use DVD subtitles in Blu-ray projects or with Blu-ray players. Since both formats use images for subtitles, the conversion is about reformatting and ensuring compatibility with the target playback device or authoring software.
