How to convert XML+PNG subtitle to IDX ?

[HussainJH]

Hi

I have a bunch of XML+PNG subtitle that I need to convert to IDX to be able to play them on my WDTV. How can I do that ?
and what video player software support XML subtitles on PC? I'm using MPC and VLC and both doesn't seem to recognize the subtitles !

BDSup2Sub (For a bunch there's CLI)
Subtitle Edit: Drop the XML onto Subtitle Edit. In the OCR window Rightclick -> Export -> Vobsub

I've already tried BDSup2Sub and this is the Error message that I get

[HussainJH]

And this message when using subtitle edit

Is there a problem with the subtitle files ?

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

The problem is the format of your XML.

Download XMLConverter.7z here https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/365786-Converting-Subtitles-(XML-PNG)-to-idx-sub and convert your XML to BX-SR035460-ARA-ARA_adjusted.xml and use that in BDSup2Sub/Subtitle Edit

why sub/idx? use SUP is better
