DVD Architect Pro
This format is a text file to import and export subtitle files  
(extension ".sub") for the Sony Programm DVD Architect Pro 5 and later.

The format is a simple tab fields with the fields title number  
(sequential in format 0000), TC in, TC out, text. The textencoding is  
not specified in the manual, it is probably Latin-1. Also, the manual  
does not specify how to encode two lines. You cannot know the  
framerate as it is not part of the file.

spent over 70 nights and most days ...

77 days.

This format can also be easily used to export for Excel or to import  
from an Excel files after the columns have been arranged and it has  
been exported as tabbed text.



if someone has information about what text encoding DVD Architect Pro  
actually uses and how multiple lines are handled, please tell me.
