Hi
I have a problem when creating HD-DVDs with subs created from .srt files. I usually take the .srt file and convert it to a .sup with SubtitleCreator. After that, I load it into Supread and export it as a scn-sst file and PNGs. (Then I use a Photoshop action to change the location of the text on the screen.)
The thing is that Scenarist ACA doesn't accept subtitles where a line begins exactly where another line ends.
E.g:
71
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:30,500
...är intresserad så kan jag erbjuda er den.
- Underbart tack så mycket.
72
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:34,400
- Åh bra kanske vi kan...
- Kan vi göra det på måndag?
In this case, I need to change either line 71 so it ends at 00:09:30,400 or line 72 so it begins at 00:09:30,600. This can be quite a job for a file with 1400 lines.
I guess this can be done in an editor with regular expressions, but I'm not at all familliar with that.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this?
