Hi guys!

I've had some tries with softsubs, all mostly successful, but I have one or two issues that have annoyed me with the softsubs.

In some DVDs i have, certain subtitles are graphics, and not OCR-able. In other subtitles, it seems that the only text caught by the OCR are the ones on the top part of the screen ; subtitles on the bottom part aren't caught by the OCR process and are ignored. (Using Subrip 1.06)

The solution i thought of : Somehow combine the softsubs and the bitmap image of the graphic subtitle.

Is that possible? Having softsubbed graphic subs and softsubbed regular text in the same SRT? I use OGMs, and i don't think *.srt files can handle graphics.

Oh well, if it can't be done, i guess hardsubs will do...
