bitmapped subtitles?
I've seen srt subtitles and sub/idx subtitles but I don't know if I've
ever seen bitmapped subtitles
from what I understand of mkv subtitles they must be like below:
| + A track
|  + Track number: 3
|  + Track UID: 742651814
|  + Track type: subtitles
|  + Enabled: 1
|  + Default flag: 1
|  + Forced flag: 0
|  + Lacing flag: 0
|  + MinCache: 0
|  + Timecode scale: 1
|  + Max BlockAddition ID: 0
|  + Codec ID: S_TEXT/UTF8
|  + Codec decode all: 1
|  + Language: eng

is there a way to convert srt or sub/idx to the format myth will play?
