[MPlayer-users] how to convert vobsub files?

gee. that sounded so serious that i eventually downloaded the subripper
and as i don't have windoze, i launched wine. well, the only thing this
program did was converting my vobsub files to lots of small bmp's or
sup's, but they still are not txt ones. the program tells me that my
vobsub files are encrypted (while it can encrypt all the bitmaps). looks
like it hasn't got it's own ocr and expects me to give it. do you know
how to manage this? is there any possibilty to display these bitmaps
(what's funny, they look quite ok) or to convert them to normal text?
the other thing is that if they look this good (similar to mplayer native
ones), so maybe they are just badly displayed. is there any option to rescale 
vob subtitles while playing in mplayer?
