I used Fair Use Wizard to turn a black&white movie into avi with sub/idx subtitles. However, when played with Media Player Classic, Real Player or KM Player, the subtitles would not appear at all. (I have used Fair Use Wizard many times and usually don't have a problem.) Then I used Subtitle Creator and inputed the sub/idx file and all the subtitles appeared in the list (and appeared fine in the Subtitle Creator screen) with no problem. I didn't make any changes in the subtitles with Subtitle Creator. Then I saved the sub/idx subtitles with Subtitle Creator. The saved subtitles would play in Media Player Classic. (The subtitles color wasn't to my liking, but I could deal with that later using Subtitle Creator.) My question is:
1) Why didn't the subtitles appear initially when I played the avi sub/idx that I just got from Fair Use Wizard?
2) Why did the subtitles play (avi sub/idx) after saving them in Subtitle Creator, even though I made no changes to the subtitles in Subtitle Creator?
I also used VSRip to extract out the sub/idx subtitles and had the same problem (no subtitles when playing avi (from Fair Use Wizard) with VSRip sub/idx ).
I have included the following link to the sub/idx from VSRip:

Can someone take a look at this file, then input the file into Subtitle Creator (make no change) and save as sub/idx and tell me why is the saved file different than the original?
