 If you experience a growing delay between the movie and the subtitles when
 using a MicroDVD subtitle file, most likely the frame rate of the movie and
 the subtitle file are different. Please note that the MicroDVD subtitle
-format uses absolute frame numbers for its timing, and therefore the
-<option>-subfps</option> option cannot be used with this format. As
-<application>MPlayer</application> has no way to guess the frame rate of
-the subtitle file, you have to manually convert the frame rate. There is a

-conversion for you.
