You could use the following RegEx to match the variables:

$regex = '/(\w+)\s*=\s*"(.*?)"/';

I would suggest to first match the sublimevideo shortcode and get that into a string with the following RegEx:

$pattern = '/\[sublimevideo(.*?)\]/';

To get the correct array keys I used this code:

// $string is string content you specified
preg_match_all($regex, $string, $matches);

$sublimevideo = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < count($matches[1]); $i++)
    $sublimevideo[$matches[1][$i]] = $matches[2][$i];

This returns the following array: (the one that you've requested)
