Description

Hello,

First off, thanks for your work, it's very useful!

Untouched Blu-ray rips (so-called REMUX releases in the pirate world) very often have PGS subtitles embedded. These can be considered perfectly synced, since they came with the Blu-ray.

Can they be used as a reference point for syncing instead of relying on audio voice detection?

Research direction

The issue requests using embedded PGS subtitles from Blu-ray rips as a synchronization reference instead of audio voice detection. No files, tests, or implementation entry points are identified; first map the existing audio-reference flow and PGS input support. Done means embedded PGS subtitles can reliably provide synchronization and the behavior is covered by tests.
