Yes, that is correct.  Your video has subtitles in a bitmap format
rather than text.  You will not be able to do any fancy font
manipulation.  If you really want to get them into a text-based format
(which IMO, is far preferable) you will have to put the subs through
OCR software.  The best I have found for this purpose is subrip.  It is
a windows program, but works under wine.  You may be able to cobble
together a linux solution as well.
