Can you extract these subtitles and upload to mphq ? (using -vobsubout
in mencoder) I have never seen subtitles with different timestamps,
that's why they are currently handled like that in MPlayer.

That's not a problem, anyway subrip's copying spu_handle_t is a ugly
kludge and should/will be changed if anybody really cares about text
subtitles.
