AutoGK Subtitling problem

[Oancitizen]

I've tried to hardcode a set of external .srt subtitles onto an .avi file of a film using AutoGK. As far as I can tell the .srt subtitles fit a standard format. Just as a sample:

00:51:09:I am... We are proud|of our achievements.
00:51:12:Wow!
00:51:15:Just look at him!
00:51:17:You're an artist...

And after doing it, everything seemed to work fine. And technically, the subtitles were indeed hardcoded into a new .avi file.

The problem is that the resulting file simply posted the entirety of the text from the .srt file onto the first few seconds of the film, in the same format as the sample I posted above.

Is it possible that my .srt subtitles aren't in the right format to be read by AutoGK? If so, what format should it be in? And if it's not that, then what?

Welcome to the forum.

This is the the SRT format:


30
00:02:39,325 --> 00:02:42,490
So, what've you been up to?

31
00:02:42,586 --> 00:02:43,602
What?

32
00:02:43,708 --> 00:02:46,604
How you gettin' by?

Thanks! I'll try my best to fix it.

If this is a movie, and given that movies typically have more than 1000 lines of dialog, if this movie is at all well known you might be better off trying to find some ready-made SRT subs for it. There's a list of places to check in this post:

You have to be careful to get them in your particular format, PAL or NTSC. Sometimes they say, sometimes all you can do is to test with your video.
