I have an issue with Subtitle workshop. I get the files in .890 format, use Titlevision to convert them to "ANSI txt files with cues". Here's a paste from that file:

01:03:27:23
01:03:30:17

Vartiointi, Orlando Cobo.

01:03:34:10
01:03:38:12

Olen pahoillani.
Hoidan asian heti.

Here's the problem, when I import this .txt file into Subtitle workshop, it comes out like this:

3 01:03:27,230 01:03:30,170 Vartiointi, Orlando Cobo.
4 01:03:34,100 01:03:38,120 Olen pahoillani.|Hoidan asian heti.
5 01:03:38,120 01:03:40,120 Hoidan asian heti.

Notice in the .txt file this is 2 subtitles, while when imported into Subtitle workshop, it converts it to 3 lines. Seems like Workshop adds a 3rd line which contains everything from the line break, and is timed from when it should actually go away. How do I get Workshop to correctly convert the 2 lines of 1 subtitle into 2 lines of 1 subtitle instead of 2 lines of 1, then a 3rd subtitle with the last line of the 1st subtitle? Just seem weird to me that it would convert it like this, cause it's completely useless.

Hope this makes sense, if not just ask.
