The error "Invalid Sub Format. Re-import or delete." typically occurs when the software cannot parse the subtitle file you are trying to import. This may be due to:
- The file is not in a supported subtitle format (e.g.,
.srt, .ass, .vtt). - The subtitle file contains formatting errors (e.g., missing timecodes, incorrect line structure).
- The file encoding is incompatible (should be UTF-8 without BOM).
- The file is corrupted or empty.
However, based on the provided knowledge base, there is no specific troubleshooting for this exact error message. To give you the most accurate guidance, I need more information from your logs.
Please provide the following:
- Open the
logs folder in your software installation directory (C:/Users/Ahmet/Downloads/win-pyvideotrans-v3.98-312/logs/). - Find the latest log file (named by date) and copy the last ~30 lines of error details.
- Share that content here.
Alternatively, you can try these general steps:
- Ensure the subtitle file is a plain text
.srt file with proper format (e.g., 1\n00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,000\nHello world.\n\n). - Re-save the
.srt file using a text editor like Notepad++ with UTF-8 (without BOM) encoding. - Delete any extra spaces or special characters in the file.
- If the file was generated by another tool, try regenerating it with pyVideoTrans's own subtitle export.
If the issue persists, the log will help pinpoint the real cause.
