Encore .txt to srt?

[encodingmonkey]

Hi guys,

Noobie here, but I'm having trouble inserting correct subtitles into a foreign film that I have. I know how to hard burn .srt files into videos, but I've got a whole bunch of new subtitle files in .txt format that I believe to be spit out from Adobe Encore. When I open up the .txt files I get something like this:

00:00:40:43 00:00:44:20 Here, look at Mommy!
00:00:47:02 00:00:50:32 Chano, over here!

The film has a 59.97 frame rate if that helps. Is there any easy way short of buying Adobe Encore to convert these subtitle files into .srt? Thanks!

Use subtitle edit.

Thanks. I now seem to have a minor problem of some captions breaking and disappearing from encore to srt. Is there anyway to automatically fix this in subtitle edit?

[johns0]

Can you post an example?

[encodingmonkey]

Sure. In the text file from the adobe encore subtitle file:

Can I take Chanoto to the soccer game?

And when I open it in subtitle edit, I'll get:

Can I take Chano

It might be a bug in subtitle edit (with new lines) - you can try this version: http://www.nikse.dk/SubtitleEdit.zip
