succed to convert xml to srt, but the sub position wrong

[Bobiaj]

Hi i download subtitle from xml and convert to .srt but when i play the video the subtitle position got wrong

example:
Hi, How are you
I`m Fine

become:

I`m Fine
Hi, How are you

do you know how to fix it without change it one by one?

[jagabo]

SRT doesn't really support explicit positioning of subs. You're problem is probably a result of overlapping (in time) subs and the way particular SRT renders deal with them. Some subtitle editors let you automatically fix overlapping subs, set minimum time between subs, max line length, etc. You'll have to analyze what causes your problem and try those fixes.

Retry with subtitleedit.
Load your xml, set save as srt (in the menue).
Done.

strange, tried it with several multiline xml subtitles and it worked with all of them.

[jagabo]

Upload the xml and srt subs.

The xml timings are wrong.

[jagabo]

I don't think the xml timings are wrong. But the way the renderer stacks subs that occur at the same time are the opposite of the way the program that converted them to SRT stacked them.

xml

<p end="00:03:22:24" xml:id="p55" begin="00:03:19:24">Qué bueno, ya</p>
<p end="00:03:22:24" xml:id="p56" begin="00:03:19:24">le tocó regañada.</p>

SRT:

36
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
le tocó regañada.
Qué bueno, ya

So this appears to be a problem with the conversion program.

[jack_666]

SubtitleEdit /convert 1.xml srt


the above produces


56
00:03:19,999 --> 00:03:22,999
Qué bueno, ya


57
00:03:19,999 --> 00:03:22,999
le tocó regañada.



This is the correct order. The id offset of 1 is because the .xml starts at p0 whilst the .srt starts at 1.


The error clearly occurs, as jagabo pointed out, with the conversion program.

[Bobiaj]

Could u explain how to fix the p0 set to p1?
Or anything to make the issue fix?
I’m not the expert to do this i’m noob btw

[jack_666]

Could u explain how to fix the p0 set to p1?

I have no idea why you would want to do that.
Guess you can use a text editor or, if you are capable, use awk.

Isn't
SubtitleEdit /convert 1.xml srt
what you are trying to achieve?

[jack_666]

please have a look at the attached .srt file

Finally i found it, how dumb i am.
