Problem during batch conversion of ASS files #8707

Closed SardanDev closed 1 week ago

SardanDev commented 1 month ago

Hello, I've noticed that when batch converting .ass files, it doesn't place the Script Info etc. section at the top of the .ass file.

[Script Info] ; This is an Advanced Sub Station Alpha v4+ script. Title: ScriptType: v4.00+ PlayDepth: 0 ScaledBorderAndShadow: Yes

[V4+ Styles] Format: Name, Fontname, Fontsize, PrimaryColour, SecondaryColour, OutlineColour, BackColour, Bold, Italic, Underline, StrikeOut, ScaleX, ScaleY, Spacing, Angle, BorderStyle, Outline, Shadow, Alignment, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, Encoding Style: Default,Arial,20,&H00FFFFFF,&H0000FFFF,&H00000000,&H00000000,0,0,0,0,100,100,0,0,1,1,1,2,10,10,10,1

I noticed this while converting a .vtt file to .ass. I hope it can be fixed soon.

OK, could you explain more?

I'm seeing the same problem. I have a source .vtt file in subtitles\00-initial folder and I'm outputting .ass file to subtitles\10-clean folder with the following command: subtitleedit /convert .\subtitles\00-initial\orange-days-s01e01.ja.vtt AdvancedSubStationAlpha /outputFolder:subtitles\10-clean /overwrite

The resulting .ass file has no header, i.e. it is just a bunch of Dialogue: lines. However if I open the .vtt file in SubtitleEdit UI and save as to .ass it gets a header. So something specific to the CLI /convert command (or maybe include batch conversion from the UI as well, I haven't tried that).

@niksedk let me know if you'd like more info, happy to provide.
