    hello, some simple questions
    i have the following sub for example:
    -
    {1}{1}25.000
    {50}{110}....................................
    {125}{200}....................................
    {225}{300}....................................
    {312}{375}....................................,
    .
    .
    .

    questions:

    1] is "{1}{1}25.000" delay and what is its unit (milliseconds, ten milliseconds)?

    by delay i mean like if the delay was 10 sec and the first subtitle was to play from 1 sec to 2 sec
    with the delay applied the result would be the subtitle playing from 11 sec to 12 sec
    like: [(start time)+delay, (end time)+delay] = [1+10, 2+10] = [11, 12]

    2] "{1}{1}" is standard/default form for delay? (if the answer in the first question is yes)
    how can i say if "{1}{1}25.000" is delay or a subtitle "25.000" to play from {1} to {1}?

    3] {50}, {110}, {125}, {200} are in ten milliseconds?
    like 50 ten milliseconds = 50 x 10 ms = 500 milliseconds?

    thnx a lot

    The subs are for a 25fps (PAL) source. That is all the 25.00 means. The rest of the values are start/stop frame numbers for the subtitle line.
