Gzip/bzip2/7-zip is irrelevant here.There's a reason why initially the
mplayer developer brought in rar instead of other, much
easier-to-implement open source formats. I don't think he (is he still
active on the list?) made the decision arbitrarily. DVDRippers release
their subs in either rar, or uncompressed format. IMHO rar is a de
facto standard here. And I've never seen a sub compressed into other
formats on ftp sites, bittorrent, emule, etc. RAR IMHO is a "should"
thing, while gzip/bzip2/7-zip are "may" thing.
