ASS format details:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Below you will find our evaluation of the ASS files:

The ASS file type is a very commonly used file extension and mainly uses a special format. The two most common formats are as follows:

80% of all ASS files use the popular UTF-8 file format. UTF-8 is the World Wide Web's most common character encoding for Unicode. UTF-8 files can be viewed with any text editor. These files start with the 3 bytes ï»¿ (hex: EF BB BF), the so called byte order mark (BOM). The content consists of readable text data, which can be read using a text editor. Most of these files are 10 KB to 240 KB in size. The file type is relatively new. The files contain the following words: [Script Info], ScriptType: v4.00+, ; http://www.aegisub.org/, WrapStyle: 0, ScaledBorderAndShadow: yes, Title: Default Aegisub file, ; Script generated by Aegisub 3.2.2, YCbCr Matrix: TV.601 and PlayR.

6% of all ASS files are SubStation Alpha Subtitle files. The contents of these files can even be read by a human. The file size is in the range of 2 KB to 87 KB.
