ADRIANZZZZ  Very useful app. I'm only waiting for MPL2 subtitle format support. With this feature I won't need anything else.

LMP  Very nice little app. It would be even more useful if it allowed the user to add custom search-and-replace functions. For example, find double spaces and replace with single space, or find certain accented characters and replace them with non-accented versions.

It would also be nice if the auto line splitting feature took dialog dashes into consideration. For example for the line "- Knock, knock. - Who's there?" it should split the line just before the second dash.

PETERSCHAUFUSS  FIX: it seems that MacUpdate stripped the tags I was commenting about - they are the standard HTML tags for italic text [i] [/i] ([=) I hope this makes sense :-)

DAVIDE RIVOLA  If they show up that means that the player don't support these tags. I'm afraid the only solution will to remove them.

PETERSCHAUFUSS  I would like it to be able to handle tags to fix them for playback in various players in OS X.

Whenever I playback or convert files containing these tags they just show up like they are, instead of making the text between them italic.

I don't know how to correctly tag italic text in these files, but it seems that the do not work.

If you can't make a fix, at least make an option for removing them instead.

DAVIDE RIVOLA  Thank you for the suggestion. This feature is already at the top of my todo list (because I need also this) ;-)

I'm quite busy at the moment (I do this in my spare time). But it will be added.

DAVIDE RIVOLA  Hi, thank you for the suggestion. Open SRT has a lot of nice features! Some are already planned for SubCleaner and other could be added later.

Please be patient, I'm doing this to learn Mac programming in my spare time. ;-)

WOODEN BRAIN CONCEPTS  I'm not sure what features it needs, but the parameters mode of opensrt looks good. i have been unable to use this to clean srt files for a philips dvp 642. (they are unrecognized even after cleaning). it would be brilliant to have some os x software that actually fixes the problem. anyway thanks for the efforts.

PIMMA  Although SubCleaner is a beta, I think it worth a try. The application seems to be very stable (I never had a problem so far) and it is really fantastically simple to use. Finally I can enjoy my subtitled movies without the unpleasant formatting errors that sometimes occur. Thanks Davide to make this happens! :-)
