Hey all,

I was experimenting with converting a subtitle file in subrip format (.srt) to the Scenarist format (.stl) format.

I came across this site which does this conversion online:
http://www.michaelcinquin.com/tools/subtitles/srt_to_dvdsp

But when I tried to open a .stl file in my WinXP Pro (32-bit, SP3) system, Windows gave an error about the file not being a proper "Certified Trust List" file.

So I configured my system to open a .stl file with notepad (so I can do edits in my Scenarist-based subtitle file) instead of being associated with whatever application/process was causing the Certified Trust List error.

Did I do "a bad thing" to my system? I'm not sure, so I'm coming to the experts here. Thanks in advance.

Nope, that should be fine. I'm not sure about the error you've mentioned, but you didn't harm your system at all, no worries :)

No problem :)

For the record, when I hear "scenarist subtitles", I always think of SCC files.
