Questions

Why would a file end up in SBV in the first place?
Mostly from YouTube's own caption export, or from older subtitle tools built around it. Once you need that file somewhere else — a media player, a different platform — SRT is usually what's expected.
Does the conversion add anything SBV was missing?
Just the sequential cue numbers SRT requires before each timestamp line — the timing and text themselves aren't changed.
