adicoto I think the problem is indeed caused by the first line (1***), but you need not necessarily delete it. Instead you could renumber the subtitle-file. To be sure I would first remove the three ***, save it and then load it in (e.g.) Subsync and immediately thereafter save it back. Subsync will then have corrected the wrong numbering.
