As mentioned before, vobsubs were originally meant to handle only DVD subs so 720p or 1080p subs are all non-standard and not likely to be supported on stand-alone devices..
OK, great! Thanks...So, in theory, I could use this app to convert the SUP to a 720p SUB/IDX and have it played back by any directshow player? I should have clarified what I meant by "stand alone". I was really talking about other software players that have their own internal codecs/filters like VLC, but I suppose this doesn't matter to me at least, as I prefer directshow-based players.

I don't have a BD drive quite yet, so I can't really experiment with this app, but can it take the 1080p subs and downsize them to appear as normal on a 720p encode?
