I already talked to Lightning UK on Decrypting forum to make sure that it's not decrypting related: Have a look. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35204)

Even with option "prevent restart from 0 in middle of DVD" checked I have the error occuring that at some spots the time stamp is delayed and the delay is carried through the rest of the stream like an offset.
Mostly there are from 3 to 10 errors of this kind in a stream and I have to correct them manually !!! PAIN!
I use stream processing and demux the subs to an "extra vob" ->Smartripper style or "raw demux" in DVD Decrypter (preferably).
Processing time is much faster this way and I can delete the vobs containing video data directly after encoding, because my HD isn't that huge.
These "pure" sub steams seem to be a heavy task for SubRip.
A normal workaround for DVDs with this error occuring was to leave subs inside the Vobs (direct stream), but then the DVD must be available again to re-decrypt!
But now I have a DVD "Rote Sonne" where this doesn't work, still the same error. Strange that 1st subtitle stream is unsynch from the 2nd subpicture on while the next 2 subtitle streams ar totally synch!

Does anyone have the same experience?
I mailed TvZuggy about this already in the past, but he didn't answer. Is there someone close to him to speak to him about this??
I'd be glad...

Take a look about this problem here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33409

And I had replied 2U in past already.

Hm, I don't want to be ungentle, but if you've mailed me back I'm sure you'd stuck my nose into that thread you now point me to... and I cannot remember having read it already. But maybe it's another sign of too much daily cold beer in the evening on my side :)

Anyway thanks for replying so fast and please ignore the mail I sent you a few hours ago, nothing new in it.

I wasn't aware of Vobsub creating an .idx file - sorry if I misunderstand you here again - but I have to admit that I never really tried it because I didn't like it, contrary to your/brains proggy.
If index files contain the absolut time stamps - at this very instant I'm checking Subrippers index file creation - I will contact Lightning UK again to beg him to implement this file creation.
So then I have to open .idx file instead of .ifo and the corresponding .sub (=DVD Decr. raw), right?
Thanks for your efforts, keep up,
DVD decr. and SubRip are a winning couple!
