Description

Summary of the bug:
Upon converting vtt-subtitles to srt, I noticed the timecodes to have been slightly changed with overlap as a result. I can't believe this is intended. I do notice the ',' instead of the '.', but why are the timecodes recalculated?

vtt-input excerpt:

6
00:00:15.011 --> 00:00:19.017
en de Belgische publicist Johan Op de Beeck over Napoleon en de slag bij Waterloo.

7
00:00:19.017 --> 00:00:22.006
Dit is Buitenhof op zondag 14 juni.

srt-output excerpt:

6
00:00:15,011 --> 00:00:19,021
en de Belgische publicist Johan Op de Beeck over Napoleon en de slag bij Waterloo.

7
00:00:19,017 --> 00:00:22,007
Dit is Buitenhof op zondag 14 juni.

This is a rounding bug that happens because all subtitles are passed through the ASS code, which has lower precision. I fixed this a while ago for SRT in our FFmpeg fork (see https://github.com/tupil/FFmpeg/commit/f0e98dd3b1e21abe1a83f8ac0d85f8fbf3ae47e7). I will supply a patch to ffmpeg-devel soon.

This is a long standing design issue. A patchset was sent a few minutes ago on the ml to address the issue. The patch fixing that exact issue can be find here: http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2016-February/189830.html
