Sorry for the noobish question, but I'm attempting to backup a BD title to 720p x264 encode in either of the MP4 or MKV containers. Is there a way to use this tool to convert the SUP to the SUB/IDX format as a stream wrapped in the MKV?

Or, is that the holy grail people are searching for at the moment. I've read conflicting reports that the SUB/IDX binary format can handle HD (720p or 1080p) subtitles. Even if it were possible to obtain this subtitle format, it seems there's not even a DS filter to play it. Please correct if I'm wrong. If a DS filter does not exist for this format, is there a "stand alone" player that could play back HD SUB/IDX?

Thanks for any info....
