I'm trying to import an SRT file into VideoStudio 11.5 and am receiving the message "Cannot support this format"
What format does VS expect?
The SRT file I am trying to open was captured off FTA DVB-T, it has the 'usual' Double CR before each LF, an excerpt is below.
1
00:00:00,992 --> 00:00:03,786
"You know, if I was to unwrap that,
I'd have a really dangerous,
2
00:00:03,786 --> 00:00:03,786
"sharp metallic surface
I could pick my nose with.
3
00:00:03,786 --> 00:00:06,410
"sharp metallic surface
I could pick my nose with.
4
00:00:06,410 --> 00:00:06,650
"'Cause God knows, I wouldn't
want to use my index finger.
Thanks,

Expected SRT file format?

I don't even know whether VS is compatible with SRT, but I see 2 things that are obviously wrong with your example, based on my experience with DVD WS:
1. you have an illicit overlap between 2 and 3
2. the time format in WS2 and I presume would be the the same in VS, if it is compatible is hh:mm:ss:ff, NOT hh:mm:ss,sss. It converts this to the frame number.
Hope this helps.

Hmmm, Well that gives me somewhere to start.
VS 11.5 does support SRT
1. The illicit overlaps are quite common on our FTA, not really illicit as they are 0 duration though
2. I created a small SRT file just containing the 4 subtitles in this post, and guess what? it gets imported perfectly
so the ,sss format is not an issue.
I'll try pulling the full SRT file in on a divide and conquer basis and see where I hit trouble

OK. I've worked it out.
The problem is that VS 11 cannot handle the CR,CR,LF sequence that is contained in all SRT files I've ever collected of FTA broadcasts. Not Good
More to the point, when I 'repair' the SRT file I don't get much further, viz (on a 1h 10min video)
Action . . . . .| Memory used | Filesize
Open VS . . .| . . . . 56m
Open Video | . . . . 62m . . . .| 2434m
Open SRT . .|. . . 1408m . . . |. 213k
Try to do anything:- 'Out of memory'
That's with 2gig of real memory and plenty of paging space.
Not good enough, who ever tested SRT file handling?
Now to find something that works
