[MPlayer-users] Fw: Subtitles Positioning - NOVIRUS

[*]

I found it was faster for me to type in the subtitles by hand
(I'm serious) than using pgm2text, since I still had to correct
almost every line after using the latter.

Then I discovered the Windows SubRip, which works much better
and runs under Wine:

There is source, so supposedly someone could port it to Linux
in the future or at least look at why it's so successful.
