The fact that nobody else has stepped forward in the last five years to 
fill this hole suggests Scott Larson's hard work is in fact very 
valuable, and at least the core of the patch should be integrated -- at 
a minimum, enough for a working version that others can build on. He 
spent countless hours reverse engineering the code for everyone's 
benefit, and is the only one to have done this for the project. US (and 
I believe Canadian) broadcast is now entirely ATSC, so this affects 
anyone using mplayer for television in North America.

Since mplayer/mencoder is used by people who want more control (power to 
the people), it would be great to have the ability to output the text to 
file, such as srt.
