SAMI files are used by Windows Media Player and contain subtitle and timecode information in order for Windows Media Player to display timecodes. The SAMI file has a .smi file extension. Please note that RealPlayer and Quicktime also have a similar file with the .smi extension but the files are not compatable. You can open up the .smi file with Windows Media Player but not with Quicktime or RealPlayer.
TitleFactory can create, not only the SAMI file, but also the .ASX file that combines the Video content with the subtitle information. A sample .ASX file is below.
A sample SAMI file contents follow.

A sample .ASX file follows
The .ASX file combines the video content with the subtitles. Note that the file can play in Windows Media Player only if the video file is specified. TitleFactory will refer to the video file that is used in the current project when creating the file. Notice that both the video file and .smi file are hard-coded absolute references to files. If you move the files, then the .asx file must be changed.
