My opinion about all this discussion is that ppl lost a great deal of
time arguing over a very small, yet not so trivial issue.
we all agree that :
- hardware players are broken (which is probably why I've never been
able to watch SRT subs on my crappy hw player)
- some software players are broken
- the original "format" of SRT used CR/LF mostly because it was
developed on windows platform
- MPlayer is feature rich and could afford yet another option to
generate CR/LF formatted SRT files.
Adam, as Richard said earlier, if you could make a _good_ patch that
allow to _optionnaly_ generate CR/LF SRT files, it has a great chance
to get merged.
As you saw, that issue is controversial, so my feeling is that it does
legitimate to give ppl a choice to generate CR/LF SRT files.
Guillaume
