RAWSUB = useless?

[zuggy]

Anybody knows the purpose of SmartRipper's rawsub format? I've checked the structure, it contains picture data of subtitle items (raw Sub-Picture units), but each unit miss 3 initial (important) bytes. Even if it have these 3 missing bytes, only subtitle picture could be decoded, without determinate of START timecode.

No mention about rawsub in SmartRipper's readme. I think rawsub output is some work-in-progress feature and thus I do not recommend to use it. Or?

I think it is just the output of the demuxer, it wasn't ment to be used for anything. Even if the timestamps were there, it couldn't be synced properly when there are discontinuities.
