Another update: I made a lot of fixes and improvements to the subtitle
rendering code. Subtitles are now always rendered in video display
resolution, not in video frame resolution. This avoids ugly resizing of
alpha-blended text, which was especially noticeable with videos in
left-right-half or similar stereo layouts. You can now resize your video
window as you like and always get the highest possible subtitle quality.
Also, several bugs were fixed, including overflow bugs that messed up
the color and alpha values.
