Well, the ASS support patch has some flaws.
mencoder doesn't support correct-pts, so subtitle timing will be
incorrect all the time with -keep-pts, sometimes by as much as 4-5
frames... this is especially annoying at scene changes.
The "fixpts" filter is included in the patch as a hack around that.
In fact it doesn't "fix" anything but simply generates PTS at a fixed
rate, not trivial to use and doesn't work with VFR.
So, not really usable in my opinion.
