Some .srt files work and some dont?!?!?

Post by shep1979 » May 21st, '08, 03:01

I have been download Ainori/Love Wagon for some time now and Rollins had been subbing for the duration. I had never had any probs untill recently (and I would like to say thanks!) Lately it is a real hit and miss with these .srt files. I have some experience with subtitles and programs associated with them. Using Subtitle Workshop I am converting the files from .srt to .ssa in order to hardsub with virtualdub. I am having issues with the following .srt files:

Ainori 2008.03.03 (#394)
Ainori 2008.04.14 (#398)
Ainori 2008.04.21 (#399)

The error I get is:

"The File ....\Ainori 2008.##.## (#39#).srt" is a bad subtitle or an unsupported format.

(# signs are filled in just blanked to indicate that it is the applicable file name)

All of the other .srt files up to these and btwn them all work! I have opened them with notepad to verify format and they all seem o.k.? These files do work with my DVD Playing software.

Please someone help!!!

Open in notepad and re-save as ANSI or UNICODE. Be sure to have a backup of your original file.
