- What actually changes when I convert SMI to SSA?
- SAMI, an XML-based format from older Windows Media Player workflows — a cue's end time is implied by the next sync point, not stated directly. 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.
