Description

There are situations where I need to synchronize multiple subtitle files from a single reference. This process ends up being I/O intensive as ffmpeg reads the entire reference file on every ffsubsync call for every subtitle file I want to synchronize. In order to save time, it would be great to allow ffsubsync to synchronize multiple files at once.

Research direction

Start by tracing how ffsubsync invokes ffmpeg and rereads the single reference file for each subtitle input. Define how one invocation should accept multiple subtitle files and verify that every requested subtitle is synchronized against the shared reference without repeated reference reads.
