Review: Good - script works

Wondering why the .srt files generated only have UTF-8 text and no BOM or CRLF line terminators
https://litter.catbox.moe/25ncsy.srt

Most .srt files seem to have this. My regular subtile editor didn't recognize the .srt files generated by the script until rewritten by another program. When its rewritten it has (with BOM) text and CRLF line terminators.
file 1.srt
1.srt: UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text, with CRLF, LF line terminators

Thank you for the script saves so much time compared to manually getting the timed text and converting it.

You're the first person to complain about that. And most srt files I've seen use LF, not CRLF.

I don't plan to change anything, the players and text editors I use default to UTF-8 and work with LF just fine. Even the Notepad in - I think - Windows 8 or newer handles LF correctly.

You should switch to a different subtitle editor or tweak the settings.
