I totally don’t get this. For images, you can do timeline editing (enable between yadda), but there is open source software to rip subtitles to images and do OCR, so you end up with an SRT. DVD subs are horrible. They have only 4 colours, one being transparant, so you have one level of anti-alias (and with DVD SP generated ones, that’s not even on the highest contrast.) SRT can give you the best image quality possible, since it’s metadata.
