python youtube字幕_用Python将单个Webvtt格式字幕转成Srt格式字幕

从Youtube中下载的字幕是Webvtt格式，我用的射手影音播放器无法正确加载该字幕，所以用Python写了一个脚本将vtt格式的字幕转化为srt格式的字幕。我所使用Python程序编写平台是PSF(Python Software Foundation)官网(Welcome to Python.org)下载的IDLE(Python3.7-64bit)，也可以在此网站上下载https://python123.io/，在IDLE中运行该程序即可将vtt格式字幕转成srt格式字幕。

所下载的vtt字幕格式如下：

WEBVTT

Kind: captions

Language: en

00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:05.600

The mathematics we learn in school doesn’t

quite do the field of mathematics justice.

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:09.490

We only get a glimpse at one corner of it,

but the mathematics as a whole is a huge and

00:00:09.490 --> 00:00:11.690

wonderfully diverse subject.

00:00:11.690 --> 00:00:15.730

My aim with this video is to show you all

that amazing stuff.

00:00:15.730 --> 00:00:18.340

We’ll start back at the very beginning.

转换后的效果如下：

1

00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:05.600

The mathematics we learn in school doesn't

quite do the field of mathematics justice.

2

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:09.490

We only get a glimpse at one corner of it,

but the mathematics as a whole is a huge and

3

00:00:09.490 --> 00:00:11.690

wonderfully diverse subject.

4

00:00:11.690 --> 00:00:15.730

My aim with this video is to show you all

that amazing stuff.

5

00:00:15.730 --> 00:00:18.340

We'll start back at the very beginning.

脚本代码如下：

import os

#在源代码的目录下再创建了一个WebVtt的目录用于放webvtt格式的字幕文件(后缀名是.vtt)

path = "./WebVtt/The Map of Mathematics.vtt"

#在源代码的目录下再创建了一个Srt的目录用于放转化后的srt格式的字幕文件

srtpath = "./Srt"

vtt = open(path)

#得到vtt文件中的字符串内容

filevtt = vtt.read()

vtt.close()

#用split函数及两个换行符分成字符串列

listvtt = filevtt.split('\n\n')

#构造新的字符串 数字+换行符+字幕内容+两个换行符

srtstring = str(1)+'\n'+listvtt[0]+'\n\n'

for i in range(1,len(listvtt)-1):

srtstring = srtstring+str(i+1)+'\n'+listvtt[i]+'\n\n'

#print(srtstring)

#重命名后缀名

srtName = os.path.basename(path).split('.')

srtfile = open(srtpath+'/'+srtName[0]+'.srt','w')

srtfile.write(srtstring)

srtfile.close()

srtname = os.path.basename(srtpath+'/'+srtName[0]+'.srt')

#输出提示

print(os.path.basename(path)+' '+'has been successfully converted to'+' '+srtname)

注意点：

1.vtt字幕中前三行我是直接删去的，当然也可以在脚本中去除。

2.可能由于编码的问题，原vtt字幕文本中有中文的单引号，字幕加载时会出现问题，目前我是先在转换之前用CTRL+H用英文的单引号替换中文的单引号，这样就没问题了。
