So I just ran this script on rvb episode 76 and it worked perfectly (just
lucky I guess).  You mentioned in a private email that rvb was the only
place you saw subtitles below the video, but I have seen that in lots of
places over the years, so it is a good thing to try for. But the good news
is that on my 1.6 aspect ratio monitor the necessary crop to grab the video
and subtitles is still the full width of the monitor, so it corresponds to
just softcroping with a recenter towards the bottom. Just set the recenterv
variable to down, and it will work for all episodes of red vs blue. Other
files may not work without reducing the horizontal size of the playback
window in order to get the subtitles to show.

later.
