Hello, I have been a very happy SubRip user for some time, and while the OCR works great with most .idx or .sub files, every once in a while I come across one that has a few lines in which SubRip seems to want to pick apart each letter in the whole line. For instance it will take a simple word, like 'problem', and break each of the seven letters into two or three pieces. Typically this problem continues until the line is complete, and then the next lines it recognizes fine, until the next problem line.

Needless to say, the problem lines are recognized as gibberish, and I have to go back and extract the sub pictures as .bmp's to manually do the conversion.

Any ideas?
