RAR is an archive file format used to store other file types inside itself. Zipping files into RAR is an effective way to group them together if there are many of them, and also to compress their file size to make it easier to store them. An SRT file is a subtitle type used to display captions in movies. If you have an SRT file stored inside of a RAR, you'll need to convert and decompress the RAR before you can fully use the SRT.
