Vlc and .srt file wich changes milliseconds separator . to ,
Posted: 24 Mar 2012 19:14
Hey guys, I've just found this out today. Happens on the new build (2.0.1) as well as the 1.1.11 build.
I have a subtitle file, the first line is like this:
The rest of the lines changes the millisecond separator from . to ,:
Result: VLC only plays the first line.
I don't really know what the "standard" separator here is, subtitle workshop seem to be able to recognize both without problems, but, saving a copy from within Subtitle Workshop as .srt (Save As option, yadayada) produces a .srt file that uses ALL commas(,) instead of dots(.):
This new file, of course, plays fine in VLC.
SMPlayer also did not seem to have any problems with the original, separator-mixed, file.
This change in sepparators is the subber's fault, or whatever software he/she used to create the .srt.
Not sure if vlc sould be fixed in the first place.
Anyway, I thought this might be usefull information.

Code: Select all
1
00:02:18.470 --> 00:02:20.360
HELLO WORLD!
Code: Select all
2
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,270
