I forgot to mention in my previous post since I haven't used this program for quite a while and only used version 3.5. IIRC Txt2VobSub only really, really likes ANSI formatted text. If your SRT file is in UTF-8 format you will get the square boxes you mentioned. When I had a UTF-8 SRT file I would open it up in notepad, change the name of the file slightly and then change the encoding to ANSI. This alone will not convert your special characters correctly. I would then open the new file up in MS Word and do a spell check. This will catch the incorrectly converted characters. I would also open up the old file in notepad. Also open up Windows Character Map and set the Character set: to DOS: United States. When Word caught a bad character I would look in the old file to what see it was supposed be then find it in Character Map, select it and replace the bad character in Word with the selected character. Tedious I know. That is why I now use SubtitleEdit. |
