Program description

 

This program is only a converter between two subtitles format files : SRT and  SSA.

 

SRT is the format that the program SubRip uses to extract the subtitles. This program extracts subtitles from VOB files from a DVD, and saves it in SRT format. But this format is not the same some programs uses to show the subtitles.

 

Those programs uses SSA format. An example of a program to include subtitles in a video file is the Subtitler Plug-In from Avery Lee for Virtual Dub .

 

Using the SRT to SSA Converter, you can convert SubRip’s files to SSA format files, choosing some format characteristics. Those format characteristics will appear then in the program who shows the subtitles.

Finally, the “Lines cutting” option, allow to specify if you whish the lines cutting remains like the original subtitles font, or if you prefer that the program makes his own “intelligent cutting”, noticing the image size, the font size, the distance to the borders, and the shape of the dialogs, to adjust the text to the available room.
