What's wrong with my subtitles?

I'm attaching an srt version of the subtitles I made for my "director's cut" of Ringo Lam's School on Fire. I wanted to have soft subs to add to a DVD as opposed to the hard subs I had originally made. The composite cut I made* was done with TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5. Originally I exported the various xsubtitle files and then put them into one file using Subtitle Edit and tried to import them into TMPGENC Authoring Works 4. Unfortunately, it couldn't read the subs at all, so I tried exporting the file from Subtitle Edit as an srt. Authoring Works imported the first 25 minutes, but no more.

So I tried some different software, in this case Cyberlink Power Director 10, which crashed when it got 30% through the subtitle import. When I broke up the srt file into several pieces, it worked, but there was no way to combine them within Power Director, it just wanted to clear the entire sub section with each import. I then tried Mux Man, but it couldn't read the file, no matter what format I chose to import. DVDStyler was next, but I couldn't get the software to avoid transcoding the video, no matter what I did.

I'm not really sure what the issue is with this particular sub file. I even tried copying and pasting into a new srt file and it didn't change a thing. So if anyone can help, I'd very much appreciate it.


*The sources were the Joy Sales DVD and a VHS that was mailed to me. The owner recently posted the deleted scenes on Youtube from the straight VHS rip I sent back to him.
