Hello I tried searching for this topic but was unable to find a useful guide or video explanation of the subtitle files.
I'll be using the following 4 files below as an example. The differences I'm noticing is that they each start at different time stamps and some have more closed captioning than others. Additionally some may not work for some reason.
If anyone can break it down as simple as possible. What are the differences and which one's should I be looking for?
The.Days.2023.S01E08.JAPANESE.WEBRip.NF.en.srt
THE.DAYS.S01E08.NF.WEBRip-en-forced.srt
THE.DAYS.S01E08.NF.WEBRip-HI.srt
THE.DAYS.S01E08.NF.WEBRip.srt

Re: GUIDE: Understanding Subtitle Types
First of all, not all video versions are the same, due to a different intro, different cut, different FPS-ratio, etc.. So not every subtitle fits to every video. That's why subtitles can have different time codes. That's why the good uploader will state the video version the subtitle is synchronized to, so you will know which one to choose.
Then there is HI, non-HI and forced.
The HI version is meant for hearing impaired ("HI") people. It includes descriptions of sounds and who is speaking. For example:
[dogs barking], [gun shots], JOHN: How are you doing?
The non-HI version is the same subtitle, but with those descriptions removed.
The forced version only has the speech in foreign languages subtitled. For example, an English subtitle for an overall English spoken movie with some dialogues in Japanese, will subtitle only those Japanese dialogues, nothing more.
So, which one to choose, depends on 1. your video file and 2. your personal needs.
