I agree, watching movie with this filter I can't say, what subtitles is called 
"soft" and what are called "hard". It's the best implemetation that I saw 
working. Anyway I found unimplement? function :P
It's a subtitles that are displayed as going info (like on news channel going 
from right to left). Currently they are boxed to the screen (don't dissapear 
outside screen but they are going up :/) When I found this movie, I will send 
screenshot and sample about it.
Besides if it's "3rd independent open source SSA/ASS renderer project" then 
why it's first that is used in popular player??
