Hi, thank you so much for the great amazing life saver Subtitleedit ! 💯 🥇

I have 2 request please Mr @niksedk @SubtitleEdit : so my goal please is to convert subtitles into audio files because I don't like watching anime videos in vostfr because it causes me eye strain eye pain .....and I see there is the amazing vital feature :

Thank you very much Mr Ilya for this amazing gem of technology!

so my plan please is to download japanese dubbed anime video and then I playback this video along with the french audio file produced by Subtitleedit , yes great Subtitleedit didn't take very long to convert the subtitle to audio, the audio has good quality and it's excellent ! 💯 but I have a weak internet connection weak old cpu windows 7 os and I would like please to get the audio file even faster, please can Subtitleedit add option to decrease the audio quality which I think will speed up the audio conversion process please? 48kb/s audio quality suits me, I often download from youtube with this low audio quality and I have no problem.....

Another question please, is it possible to preview the audio during the process of converting a subtitle to audio? My idea please is : Subtitleedit displays a temporary audio file that we can playback without waiting for the end of the audio conversion, because the streaming anime video is already ready and I downloaded it and the conversion process can take time so previewing a temporary audio file can help more speed things up, thank's!

here the explanation of importance of pre-playback of audio subtitle file : the interest of pre-playback file for me is, I use the extensions "live stream downloader" and 'cat-catch" to download streaming anime videos, for example from this site:

https://v6.voiranime.com/?filter=dubbed

the first media player is vidmoly platform which has a standard 480p video quality, and I discovered it recently, we must leave enable the option:
"continue running applications in the background after closing chrome" in

chrome://settings/system ,

because this capital option allows us to see the temporary video and playback the video during its download, the same for cat catch if we activate the option "stream download" and we deactivate the option "ffmpeg transcod" in the settings of the m3u8 parser, we can also playback the video during its download useful to not wait for the end of the download and when we have a slow connection ....because i can't playback some streaming videos in my old eee pc weak cpu weak internet because it lags....

In addition I discovered deactivating "continue running applications in the background after closing chrome" ruins also the preview function of cat catch and open in vlc which has just added initial support for potplayer following my request ....

and so the download of 480p streaming video is done quickly, and may be faster than converting the subtitle to an audio file made by our beloved Subtitleedit, my plan is to playback the Japanese dubbed streaming video and at the same time playback the audio file that Subtitleedit, offers us, I understand it is technically complex and if this feature s too difficult or impossible, there is no problem and thank you again for this amazing software ! 💯 🥇

Just to get it clear, Subtitleedit during the process of converting the subtitle to audio, does Subtitleedit put the temporary audio file in a hidden temporary folder of windows os? If so , I could maybe find the temporary folder where Subtitleedit stores the temporary audio file to playback it without waiting for the end of the conversion process .....

anyway I learn that it is better to keep the native wav format to avoid additional conversion process, thank you for this important information! and I suppose if I can't find the temporary audio file in a temporary folder, I suppose I must first find many subtitles and convert them with the wonderful Balabolka then download streaming videos, or just play the streaming video in the web browser while playing the Balabolka audio file at the same time ....

In any case, huge thanks and gratitude for this wonderful software and sorry for this long message :)
