Srt2Smi utility

[alon24]

If you are like me, and have an extender (which does not support srt subtitles), and want to see your downloaded movies with subtitles, then the best way is to use the "Caption Playback v1.2.2" which reads smi files only.

So to convert my many SRT files to SMI I created this app....
Hope someone else needs it too...


This program would convert an srt file to smi piggybacking Subtitle Workshop 4.0 Beta 4.

First get a copy of Subtitle Workshop 4.0 Beta 4, and install it
(http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multime...Workshop.shtml)

Installation:
unzip exe to the location where Subtitle Workshop 4.0 Beta 4 is installed

What is this actually ???
This is a compiled Autoit script (source provided), and it should convert your srt files to smi by running SW 4b4 (gui) and saving the file to smi (same location).

converter.ini

Do not delete the [category] parts...

[config]
movies = extensions which are considered movie extensions

[sequence]
seq= The sequence needed to select SMI from the "save as" type dialog (meant for updating in the future).

[debug]
justopen= True will open sw4b4 and open the save as dialog, and select smi - debug to make sure this actually works, default is false

Usage:

1. If you through an srt movie at the exe, (select an srt movie, and drag it over the exe or link to the exe file), it will convert the file to smi with same name.

2. If you drag a movie file (check movie file extensions), it will look in the same dir for srt files.
2.a found only one file (no matter the name) with srt extension, it will change its name, to match the exe, and create a new smi file with the same name.
2.b Found more than 1 srt file, it will open a choose dialog for you to select the correct file (double click to select), and then it will rename it and create an smi to match.

nuts. I can't get to the download site for sw4b4. guess I'll try later. there's an srt2smi app on the net already, but it needs some dll that I haven't tracked down yet.

Goolge is your friend here

The other srt2smi application does not do exactly what mine does (not all of it just the srt2smi part) and is not automated like mine.

Hope this works for you

Sorry, haven't had a chance to get into it yet, although I did manage to download the app from that site.
