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 cannot be used with this format. As
-MPlayer has no way to guess the frame rate of
-the subtitle file, you have to manually convert the frame rate. There is a
-little perl script in the contrib
-directory of the MPlayer FTP site to do this
-conversion for you.
