Why then do the mplayer docs state explicitly:

MPlayer can dump the previously listed subtitle formats into the
following destination formats, with the given options:

    * MPsub: -dumpmpsub
    * SubRip: -dumpsrtsub
    * Microdvd: -dumpmicrodvdsub
    * JACOsub: -dumpjacosub
    * Sami: -dumpsami
