Hi,

I need to change the sst timecode to 15frames offset.
but I can't open sst files in any subtitle s/w (subrip, subcreator, subtitleworkshop, MaestroSBT, VobSub)
please help me I've been trying for a week to change sst files that I already have ready to be used in Scenarist.

regards

.sst files are text files, open them with any text editor, such as notepad.

I need to open them in a subtitle editor and change the timecode

that would not be possible and will take me a few days in a text editor since it's a 80 minute movie with 1300 subtitle files
can't there be a way to change a SST file with some program?
please help me...

subtitle workshop says:
*.sst is bed subtitle or an unsupported format.
when I try to open it.
and I know it is good since I used it in scenarist
and if there's one program that won't take bed files is scenarist
so I'm sure this file is good.
You can open SST files in Subtitle Workshop - but you have to select the SST file format from the drop-down menu before you open it.

Unfortunately Subtitle Workshop reads the frame numbers as miliseconds in the start and end timings for each subtitle so it will f*ck your timings up even more.

So this leads me to think that until they implement the correct time reading no software can properly edit SST files.

Believe me - this is very annoying as I have been trying to do NTSC<->PAL conversion of SST timings for a while now and can find no app that can correctly read SST's (strange) timecode.
