- Why would I need SAMI specifically?
- It shows up in some older Windows Media Player workflows and a handful of e-learning or streaming platforms that were built around it. If a specific upload form asks for .smi, this is why.
- How does the conversion handle SRT's explicit end times?
- SAMI doesn't have an explicit end time — a cue ends when the next sync point appears. The converter inserts a blank sync at each cue's original end time to reproduce the same effect.
