Other srt files made with other programs do not do this so I think it has something to do with your program is there a way to adjust this so it doesnt happen?
This is a pretty strange request as you seem to suggest that I change BDSup2Sub in some magic way to make a third party OCR tool work better. Even if I was able to do this (which I ain't of course), I wouldn't really consider this to be my task.
Anyway: as I already pointed out before, it's generally a bad idea to OCR a scaled down version of the bitmap. I'd suggest (and not the first time in this thread) to use SupRip on the BD-SUP directly or to persuade someone to write a script/tool/whatever that uses a real OCR approach on the PNGs exported by BDSup2Sub.
