Copypasting captioning standards from KG forums for you in case it can be of use to you.

How to format a srt subtitle file properly:

1. Max 40 (37) characters per line, 80 (74) per subtitle.

2. Max two lines per subtitle. (only in real emergency use the third line)

3. Leave at least a 50ms gap between subtitles (dvdstudiopro for example skips an entry of a stl file, if the tc overlaps or end/start tc of two subsequent titles are equal)

4. 900 ms minimum for a subtitle. If possible, repair time after finishing subtitles by setting minimal length to 70-80ms per character.

5. Make visible, if two or more people are talking in one title: You can use short hyphens (- blabla) for that. Either one hyphen for each line, or just one for every second. (Really? -Yes, really!)

5.a) When there's a dialog in a subtitle and the first person's speech contains over 40 chars and the second person's only contains a few (or vice versa), we move the dialog hyphen:

Wrong:
- If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have Baked A Cake, Baked A Cake.

Right:
- If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have
Baked A Cake, Baked A Cake. - What?
