it would be great if Perian would decode and display .srt subtitles. there was a .srt quicktime compoenent, but it does not work for me. having that in Perian would be great.

This shouldn't be too hard to do in a similar way to how we currently handle plain-text subs in Matroska. I'm thinking that we should load srt files automatically with file formats we handle, looking for subtitle files with the exact same file name except for the extension, in either the same folder as the movie or a subfolder starting with "Subtitle"

another possible filename could be 

Title.avi
Title.en.srt
Title.fr.srt

not sure how to handle multiple languages, does quicktime provide a gui for that?

I say it shouldn't be too hard, but forgot about all the different possible text encodings... (Matroska specifies UTF-8)

Replying to anonymous:

In QuickTime Player View->Choose Language... will choose between multiple tracks with different languages. As far as detecting the language, I'll assume that only either ISO 639-1 or ISO 639-2 codes will be used in the filename.

Don't forget, .srt supports text styling using html tags. Not that this is actually documented at all. I've seen <i> and <b> in the wild.
