Of course it would be nice to have more than 8bit precision, but I don't think we can introduce that without breaking compatability, or can we? If we stick to...

Hey there. I guess the bitmaps could theoretically overlap, but since I'm only responsible for madVR, I don't really know. Ultimately the subtitle renderer decides whether bitmaps overlap or not....

I think you're seeing this from the view point of the subtitle renderer, right? I'll try to answer that from your point of view. However, my development side is rather...

Ok, but movements are only one possible scenario where reusing bitmaps would be useful. As I already mentioned, if you have some subtitle areas which stay static and some which...
