... yes, vobsub in MKV can be supported easily they tell us. Mosu has it almost done, for both muxing in mkvmerge and playback in mplayer .... but where is Gabest to update vsfilter.dll !!!

Additionally I don't think SSA is realistic for many reasons in this case.
... correct again ... forget SSA support in hw players, in best case people could make a parsing tool that can read the pure text, and discards all the advanced features ...

If it's text-based, USF is the way to go.
... Liisachan, your expertise about subtitles strikes me once again ... we discussed about this yesterday on IRC, and decided to push USF on the way now ( finally ), as its maybe the easiest thing to support on hardware units, and the existing editors from unmei and KovacsEndre allow SSA parsing already, so a simple SSA --> USF or SRT --> USF converter should be too hard to do based on them.

MusePack support will be nice anyway
I already pointed them to Frank's L-GPL decoder library for SV7 ....
