    Halo - 2021-06-14

    When run with the video my subtitle file is showing each line twice , one on top each other. This happens all the way through the video. I can't see why this should be happening. I've not seen it before. I've run it through Subtitle Workshop but I can't see a way to stop this , or see what's causing it.

    I tried renaming the file and running it against another video , but had the same result. Each line is duplicated on the screen. The text and the timings in the .srt are accurate , with each line only appears once. When run with the video each line is showing twice.

    Ill attach the file. Grateful if someone can suggest a way to fix it.

    :)

    Since you are on a public forum, it would be polite to keep the original question and its solution.
    Certainly, there are many people around with the same problem.
    You came here for help, but if you delete the question and solution, you're excluding people like you from the road to solution.
    Remember this.

    Yes , of course. I understand. Apologies for my lack of forum etiquette. As I managed to resolve the issue myself before any response was made on the forum , I didn't want anyone to spend time on an issue I'd already resolved.

    At any rate , I'm happy to resurrect it if someone reading may have the same issue.

    As for the solution , the truth is that I wasn't able to find something in any subtitle program to identify what was causing the issue. What I did was to reduce the .srt to plain text and strip out all formatting. I then put it back into Subtitle Workshop and saved as .srt again. This did the trick. On this occasion , it was more trial and error - but it did solve the problem.
