This format is a text file to import and export subtitle files (extension ".sub") for the Sony Programm DVD Architect Pro 5 and later.

The format is a simple tab fields with the fields title number (sequential in format 0000), TC in, TC out, text. The textencoding is not specified in the manual, it is probably Latin-1. Also, the manual does not specify how to encode two lines. You cannot know the framerate as it is not part of the file.
