 Out of curiosity could you, please, point me to such script/situation (this
"half-PAL" resolution puzzles me). As for Vobsub - well it's an argument to
keep things as they are but still isn't Vobsub out-of-developement for quite
some time. Mimicking Vobsub is probably good thing but maybe it's time to
set new standard =o) (just random thoughts, please ignore them if they are
annoying to you)

btw by "script" you mean subtitle file or (shell) script?
