Videosrt is a shell script that extracts subtitles from a video file (or YouTube video) and reinserts them as hard-coded, larger, yellow subtitles on a black background.
20230408: Cleaner code, now allowing the addition of subtitles in formats other than SRT, and some lines of yt-dlp code have been added to extract subtitles from YouTube videos as well.
20230409: Added two features:
• Convert-OV: Blur the original video, and superpose at maximum height the same video reduced by 25% and include the subtitles (as on the "convert" command)
• Convert-ST: Incorporates subtitles to the video and keeping standard size and color
