Questions

What actually changes when I convert SBV to SSA?
SubViewer, the format behind YouTube's own caption uploader — no numeric cue index, dot as the decimal separator. SubStation Alpha, ASS's older predecessor — same override-tag styling, a smaller style field set, still produced by some legacy encoders. Timing and line breaks carry over as-is; anything one format can represent that the other can't is simply dropped.
