Cool.  It took me ~30 minutes to get to 4:15 in the video. The video is about 79 minutes long. If my math is right and I work at that rate, it would take about 10 hours to finish.  :O  Every little bit counts.  

It looks like the .ass format simply appends each line of dialogue to the file, along with a time stamp.  The default time increment for aegisub looks to be 2 seconds:

Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.00,0:03:47.00,Default,,0,0,0,,it allows us to
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.00,0:03:49.00,Default,,0,0,0,,paint videos on
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.00,0:03:51.00,Default,,0,0,0,,walls and

I think if you were to start at the halfway point or 3/4 (or whatever you have time for) of the video, we could merge it easily.

I hope you don't mind me replying to you on list.  I figure that's the most visible way to coordinate, in case others also want to help.  It'd be a shame if someone duplicated our efforts!
