Pretty much yes I guess...

Sounds about right yes, easySUP/goSUB would do steps 2) and 3) together. The actual conversion to bitmaps is done by avs2bdnxml (even if you use easySUP/goSUB) which needs the input ASS file to be "drawn" and served by AviSynth. Whatever you do, these tools require AviSynth to be installed, so it won't work on a Mac...

True but we don't know whether all these possible problems are absent in the SRT he got or not. If the SRT is fine in that regard there is no reason not to start from there.
