Thanks for the info! That's certainly a viable explanation, and if every playback device or service was compatible with the newer format, this wouldn't have even come up as an issue.
Since not everyone/everything else is on board, however, it does seem like an oversight (if not a bug) on CL's part to not retain the original/vanilla formatting as an option. Seems to me like a service request would still be in order.
Thank you so much for all the reactions to my post. I appreciate the trouble. I did try the corrected sample that optodata kindly provided and inserted it in the YT video.
(However, i did not mention that I have been forced to revert to the PD 17 srt facility purely because I have been experiencing a transcription bug also on YouTube Studio Beta and Classic for the past month. Normally I have no problems adding transcriptions directly in YT). It did not seem necessary to mention this in my first post, but now it does. I found that the timing has to be adjusted in this cleaned version orf my srt file, although I took great care with the timings in the original srt. Why would that be???The additional transcription bug on YouTube is preventing me from correcting timings in the cleaned srt file, since the YT pause and play buttons jerks and freezes erratically. I have been sending YouTube many feedbacks about this to no avail and also unsuccessfully reported this on the YT forum. So I am still stuck).
By the way, the reason why I have so far preferred the YouTube transcription facitlity has been exactly because it normally is much more convenient and easier and faster to use than the PD 17 subtitle option!!! Until last month, when I started experiencing transcription bug problems in YT itself. Then, yesterday, I was forced to revert back to PD 17 transcription option. (I have been doing transcriptions directly in YT to my video's weekly.
I may also mention that the only previous time I tried to use the PD 17 subtitle tool for YT, I also experienced problems uploading it and gave up because this tool is much more time consuming, and less friendly to use than the direct YT tool.)
Thank you, ynotfish, for the remark posted while I was typing this post: (I will try the subtitle cleaner, thank you.) It does is a disappointment though, that it is necessary to revert to a second tool and that PD 17 cannot deliver the correct srt files. How do one go about reporting this problem and requesting a corrective update/service request?
