Usually you would copy the IFO as well.
I guess making FFmpeg use that IFO might be more difficult
than just adding this option though.

Why not allowing to set the size as well, i.e. just use the extradata
text format 1:1? (which of course leads to the question if we shouldn't
just have an option to set/replace the extradata).
Also, why refuse to init when the extradata parsing fails but we have
have all the info?
Though it seems that right now dvdsub_parse_extradata can't fail anyway.
I'm not sure that it's a good idea to have a return value if it's not
used anyway.
