Has anyone else ever thought that it might be useful having textsub modified to allow for smpte based timecode in ssa/ass files. Like instead of hh:mm:ss.ms you can use hh:mm:ss.ff. FF meaning frame frame of course. I think that this would be a much more logical way of entering times or transition durations. I know there are many different formats of frame rates now, but if a video editor can detect the framerate and still play the video back properly why can't that also be true for textsub?
