DVB timing (part 2 - the end time)

We have a problem with the timing in the .srt files for DVB (that's European TV, you can use for example the UK samples). The start time is now correct, but the end time is not. You can see for example here:

1 00:00:02,739 --> 00:00:32,738 Coming up, Sam goes helicopter shopping.

2 00:00:05,539 --> 00:00:35,538 We could have a nice bottle of bubbly in there.

The endtime is just 30 seconds (that's timeout value) from the subtitle start - obviously the end time should be whatever the stream says. You'll need to read

ETSI EN 300 743

which is the document that specifies DVB subtitles. You can just google it.
