Hello :)

I have an idea how to get perfect subtitle timing with any fps/offset in any 
movie (assuming that there is no ripped parts which still exist in subtitles 
or vice versa).

My simple idea:

1) let user pause at the moment where some character says something
2) when user knows what should read in the subtitle line, let him browse 
through subtitles and select the correct subtitle position
-- now subtitles are correctly aligined in the current position but it doesn't 
solve the problem of wrong fps in the subtitle file --
3) let user repeat the steps 1) and 2) in different position of movie
4) now program should have all needed information to be able to scale subtitle
   time correctly for the movie

How does it sound?
