Srt to BDN XML without PNGs

[edumj]

Hi,

I would like to know a way to convert .srt subtitltes to Blu-ray BDN text subtitles (TextST format, not PGS), to import them in Scenarist BD, or at least the right Sony BDN xml format should I use to create a "Custom text format template" in Subtitle Edit.

Or maybe someone how has Lemony Pro (which I think it can do it) could export a simple BDN xml script (blu-ray text) with just one or two subtitles, just to see the right format.

After many hours of trial and error trying to fix Scenarist errors, I ended with this xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<BDN Version="0.93" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="BD-03-006-0093b BDN File Format.xsd">

<Text RegionStyleID="0">TEXTO</Text>
</Event>
</Events>
</BDN>

But now I get this error:

Error : Length of Text element value is an odd number.

And if I add one character of text it just shows this error:

Error : Parse Error
 <Events> <Event>#1 <Text>

And I don't know what more to try...
