About TTML (.ttml)
Timed Text Markup Language is a W3C XML format for captions and subtitles. It underpins broadcast standards such as EBU-TT and IMSC and is required by many streaming platforms and accessibility regulations. Each <p> element carries begin and end (or dur) attributes and the caption text.
About LRC (.lrc)
LRC was designed for synchronized lyrics rather than video captions. Each line begins with one or more [mm:ss.xx] tags marking when the line should appear; the line stays visible until the next tag. Music apps and karaoke tools read LRC, and it works well for short, single-line captions.
What changes when converting TTML to LRC
LRC has no end times, so the end of each cue becomes the start of the next (or three seconds after the last). Multi-line cues are joined into a single line when exporting to LRC.
