SRT Error: ...expecting a time/position line

Post by morgangold »

Hi there.

I'm very new to this and have tried to follow .srt formatting as advised but seem to have come across some sort of error.

DCP-o-matic tells me:
Error: Error in SubRip file: saw 00:01:34,943 --> 00:01:35,820 when expecting a time/position line

This is probably a formatting issue but I can't seem to understand why.

I've included my .srt below:


1
00:01:34,943 --> 00:01:35,820
MANTUS
Get her!

2
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,246
AURELIA
Where am I?

3
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,574
AURELIA
Who are you?

4
00:05:10,615 --> 00:05:12,369
AURELIA
Why am I laying in salt?

5
00:05:13,328 --> 00:05:16,369
MAIM
You are made of salt.

6
00:05:17,328 --> 00:05:21,902
MAIM
We are all made of salt.

7
00:05:22,779 --> 00:05:24,574
MAIM
I am Maim.

8
00:05:25,205 --> 00:05:29,328
MAIM
You are the ancient child.

9
00:05:38,533 --> 00:05:40,451
KUGALICIAN
Here, drink.

10
00:06:12,246 --> 00:06:13,164
MAIM
Eat.

11
00:06:15,164 --> 00:06:16,082
AURELIA
What is it?

12
00:06:16,287 --> 00:06:20,287
MAIM
Corn. We are made of corn.

13
00:06:23,041 --> 00:06:25,779
MAIM
See? Good

14
00:07:15,328 --> 00:07:16,861
MAIM
Come on. Come on.

15
00:07:19,943 --> 00:07:21,410
AURELIA
What is this place?

16
00:07:22,369 --> 00:07:24,656
MAIM
It’s my stash spot.

17
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,656
MAIM
It’s my baby.

18
00:07:37,738 --> 00:07:39,328
MAIM
Come, get on.

19
00:07:52,287 --> 00:07:53,451
MAIM
Drink.

20
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,246
MAIM
Venom. You are made of venom.

21
00:09:37,328 --> 00:09:39,943
MANTUS
Hell yeah, boys. Looks like we’re in for a fight.

22
00:12:06,943 --> 00:12:09,779
MANTUS
Some demons just aren’t worth fighting.

Do you have an empty line at the start of the file? Try removing that, if so.

Nope. No empty line.

Tried adding one and deleting it as well

Thanks for the suggestion though - I started re-typing out on a new document and it seems to be working!

What version of DCP-o-matic are you using? If you can email the non-working file to carl@dcpomatic.com I can take a look.
