After a lot of research I have yet to find any way to convert from .smi (SAMI) formatted subtitle files to .srt (SubRip) or some other common format, using Linux. Must be because it's by Microsoft=P
Also I wonder why Korean subtitles tend to be in .smi format when in English I have hardly encountered that format, mainly SubRip..
Anyway all I have found is one application (very handy one too..) to adjust, but not convert .smi files in the console:
http://karasik.eu.org/software/ A program called: "Subtitles". That I found from this article (which has some info on it): http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/125978
Plus an online web-based converter posted here earlier, that didn't work: http://gsm-tuning.blogspot.com/2008/04/bla.html.
Current fix is to fire-up XP on virtualbox and use subtitle workshop, which is not much fun..
Any ideas?
Thanks for your input!

If you want to roll your own, looking at a file converted by Subtitle Workshop, the format is pretty simple, after a header:
SAMI
Code:<SYNC START=8247741> <P CLASS=SUBTTL>I’ve left my<br>new torch in Narnia. <SYNC START=8250007> <P CLASS=SUBTTL>
Code:931 02:17:27,741 --> 02:17:30,007 I’ve left my new torch in Narnia.
If you're a Linux guy you should be able to whip up a few lines of perl to convert this. -
