+if you - say - get an SSA subtitle but it's badly timed/delayed to your
+version of the movie, you simply do a <I>mplayer dummy.avi -sub source.ssa
+-dumpmpsub</I> . A <CODE>dump.mpsub</CODE> file will be created in the
+current directory, which will contain the source subtitle's text, but in
+<B>MPsub</B> format. Then you can freely add/substract seconds to/from the
+subtitle.</P>
<P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen Display</B>.
OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar etc.</P>
