zuggy, i couldn't send you a pm as advised on your homepage, so i'll post it in here:

i've just tried to rip subtitles directly from a mounted dvd-image (with daemon-tools). since one can't write to the virtual drive but subrip wants to put it's .srm-files in the same path as the vob-files, i can't extract them without copying all vobs out of the image to disc first.

it would be nice if you could use the windows-temp or a user-configurable path for the .srm-files in future versions :)

As a workaround, try to disable the "use vob's subtitle map" option. No srms should be created.

This is all I know about subtitle maps (from the doc.txt):VIII - Global Options

USE VOB'S SUBTITLE MAP
- When not checked, SubRip reads VOBs always packet by packet and
scans for your selected subtitle stream. Leave this option
unchecked, if you scan the DVD (VOBs) only once. That is, when
you process only 1 subtitle stream and once...
- When checked, SubRip reads VOBs packet by packet only the 1st
time and builds subtitle map for all selected VOBs withal. So
called subtitle maps are stored with the same name as your selected
VOB(s), with .srm extension, in your VOBs folder. Now, if you scan
the VOBs next time, only the required packets are read. That will
result significantly faster subtitles processing. After processing
of all your wanted subtitle streams, you can delete the .srm files.Thus, .srm files will speed up the ripping process for multiple tracks or repeated rips (e.g. using different settings).
