DVBTextSub
This is a modification of the original DVBTextSub to allow reading of live transport stream and the use of real-clock time-stamp for the teletext subtitle. This allows for more accurate subtitle time-stamps, and doesn't rely on program time-stamps. It now also supports color tags for the SubViewer subtitle format (SRT).

This modified version is intended for use with DVPiper
