Core decks vs extensive reading

You can find the start of a line and then sync that subtitle to that point for the rest of the subtitles.  You could do the same thing with MPC.  The two subtitles at once are the main bonus for me over MPC, it's hard to watch stuff with other people with just one soft sub.

EDIT: More detailed instructions:
Subtitles > Browse Subtitles
Pause the video at the start of a spoken line
Find the line in the browser and click Reset entire sync to the selected position
Repeat after commercial breaks if there are any

I find it a lot more convenient than typing in trial and error numbers or opening Aegisub.
