Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between TTML and DFXP?
- TTML (Timed Text Markup Language) is a standard for subtitles, offering a wide range of styling and positioning features.

In practice, the terms are often used interchangeably, but DFXP refers to a more constrained and historical implementation of the TTML standard.
