Converting subtitles to xml format

[DeNeDe]

Hy there,
Could someone guide me how to convert some subtitles into xml format? I need to use xml format for Captions for a web flash player.
My subtitles are in .ass format and i can't find any solution to convert them to .xml to be comptatible with the video player.
I have tried a lot of solutions to convert them to xml format but the subtitles won't show on the player.

Solution is simple: Write your own code... Or read direct subtitle file.

i don't know anything about xml.. how to write my own code..
can't read the direct subtitle.. only .xml files work

yes that is fine and tandy, but how i am going to edit xml file for a 1000 rows subtitle ? and i need to do this every week.
it will take a lot of time.
i will need to edit the duration of the subtitle, timestamps and so on...

I'm not quite sure if this is what you're seeking but Subtitle Edit allows you to export your subtitles to BDN xml/png format

[DeNeDe]

lol.. it exports only to png not xml..
it appeared over 255 pictures on my desktop

In Subtitle Edit you can save a subtitle in 150+ formats including many different xml formats - which xml format do you need exactly for your web flash player? "Timed Text" is a good guess...

[DeNeDe]

hmm tried few so far none will show.. i have no idea what kind of xml i need.. it just says xml file for subtitles.

[Nikse]

Hm, xml files can be anything... I don't suppose you got a sample file that works?

[videobruger]

i have no idea what kind of xml i need

lol

[DeNeDe]

it doesn't say anymore that i need a specific one

[videobruger]

And I'm still rather clueless.

But perhaps you could simply hardcode the subtitles?

[DeNeDe]

yes.. i know that.. done that.. but don't what to waste time hardcodding the subs.. but i figured it out.. xml works now

and thankfully he shared the solution with everybody else.

And he has to do this every week

This thread just puts me in a good mood.
