first:
i was talking about this program:
http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Subtitles/SubRip_1.14.exe

are you talking about the same?

because yes, that program got an ocr system, and first you have to teach
him what the symbols mean ( it's not hard at all ) and at the end it
creates text-mode subtitle files.

That's life for you, said McDunn.  Someone always waiting for someone 
who never comes home.  Always someone loving something more than that 
thing loves them.  And after awhile you want to destroy whatever 
that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more.
