Compose a Python script that converts a Sonic Scenarist Closed Captions file (.scc) to an Advanced SubStation Alpha file (.ass)

[alabulei1]

Sure! Here's a simple Python script that can convert a Sonic Scenarist Closed Captions file (.scc) to an Advanced SubStation Alpha file (.ass):

def convert_scc_to_ass(scc_file, ass_file):
    with open(scc_file, 'r') as scc:
        lines = scc.readlines()
    
    ass_lines = []
    for line in lines:
        if line.startswith('Scenarist_SCC V1.0'):
            continue  # Skip header
        
        if line.startswith('00:'):
            time, caption = line.replace('\n', '').split(' ', 1)
            start_time, end_time = time.split(':')[-1], time.split(':')[-1]
            start_time = f'{start_time[:-2]}.{start_time[-2:]}'  # Convert to ASS time format
            end_time = f'{end_time[:-2]}.{end_time[-2:]}'  # Convert to ASS time format
            ass_lines.append(f'Dialogue: 0,{start_time},{end_time},Default,,0,0,0,,{caption}\n')
    
    with open(ass_file, 'w') as ass:
        ass.writelines(ass_lines)

# Usage example
convert_scc_to_ass('input.scc', 'output.ass')

Make sure you replace 'input.scc' and 'output.ass' with the actual paths to your input SCC file and the desired output ASS file, respectively.

You can run this script by saving it to a Python file (e.g., scc_to_ass_converter.py) and executing it using a Python interpreter:

$ python scc_to_ass_converter.py

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
