SUB to SSA

	SubRip/MicroDVD substitles to Sub Station Alpha scripts
			conversion utility


                       Version 2.0 - Freeware


If you usually convert DivX AVIs in VCD or SVCD and have subtitles in
text files (usually in SubRip or MicroDVD format that is commonly used
with DivX) and want to encode subtitles within VCD/SVCD video using
VirtualDub frameserving and Sub Station Alpha v2.x/4.x subtitling
plugin for VirtualDub, this tool will help you to convert subtitles
from text files to appropriate Sub Station Alpha (SSA) scripts that
VirtualDub SSA plugin can process. 

SUBtoSSA has many advanced options like setting auto-sizing  mode
where you can have automatic size adjustment for different fonts (to
fit on screen), it can find longest text line from subtitle file for
selected font styles so you can easily check will font fit on screen
with your style settings, it support style savings for later useage in
different material (with several predefined styles for different
viewing modes I made), advanced options where you can change font
settings for particular segment and part of text, saving complete
work into project file for later modifications and more ... 

Useage and features are optimized to make rather standardized subtitles
and SSA scripts for useage in VirtualDub subtitler plugin so, some SSA
features that are not relevant for subtitling and which are not
supported by VirtualDub SSA plugin are not included and some features
that are not SSA standard but supported by VirtualDub Subtitler are
added. 

This version support SubRip SRT native time-based subtitle format and
MicroDVD frame-based subtitle file format. If you have subtitles in
any other format (SubViewer, SAMI etc.), use some of conversion tools
to convert them to one of supported formats (I recommend SRT SubRip
because it is more precise especially if source is already in
time-based format). 

For all help read MANUAL.HTM file.
