Most importantly, however, is that only ASS supports certain override tags (such as \\pos and \\t). Those only work on SSA files because VSFilter/Textsub is merciful."));

	tips.push_back(_("Much like anything loaded via DirectShow, certain files may have a strange structure (such as h.264 into AVI or XviD will null frames) which may cause unreliable seeking (that is, video frames might be off by one frame). This is not an Aegisub bug - you may consider reencoding those videos before working with them."));

	tips.push_back(_("Having video open is often more a nuisance than a help when timing subtitles. Timing with only audio open is often much easier. You can always adjust the subtitles to match the video later on."));
	tips.push_back(_("If the audio doesn't seem to work properly during video playback, try loading audio separately. Just select Audio->Load from video, that usually makes the audio much more reliable."));
