Why create from scratch? To prove it can be done, I would assume. Besides, what you're proposing has already been done AFAIK.

1.5 was supported until something like a month ago. I don't see going unsupported for the few months until 3 is released as that big of a risk, especially as I haven't heard of a single major security risk that upgrading to 2 would shield me from.

Errr, manually remove the entry from Windows registry seems like the obvious way of doing it. What exactly is the problem here? Uninstalling and switching to portable Firefox 2 or Firefox 1.5 would also work...

In case anyone was wondering. Seems like skipping version 2 was a good choice after all.
With MKV you can just put the subs in as they are. I assume that with Quicktime you'd have to turn them into whatever format they use, and this would mean OCRing and proofreading the damn things.
Why would putting it in Matroska container be a problem? It accepts the dvd subtitle format as-is. Simply re-encode the video with a modern codec to make it small enough for download and mux it in matroska with the subtitles.
Or if you simply must have the subtitles in a text-based format (for whatever reason) there are specialized OCR programs around (Subrip...)

Running an Irish pub is a common occupation for smart people in the US, then? Or did you just pull that last statement out of your ass? Guess you did.
