I saw a few days ago a film (Yankee Doodle Dandy).

As usual, I copied its translation from a site. ( I attached here Yankee-Doodle-Dandy.srt from http://davidbillemont5.free.fr).

I started XINE and I saw that no text appeared on the screen.

I tried to use emacs to see what is wrong.

I do not give here details. Yankee-Doodle-Dandy.srt contains many ZEROS (0), that are unreadable caracters.

Bref: Just try to use EMACS (id est to use query-replace) to take out the zeros. Every combination that you try fails. (unibyte, hexl mode, etc)


Is it normal that EMACS is completely unusable for such an easy task?
