DVDs subtitles skipping
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2012 3:32 pm
I am using version 1.7.8 on Mac running MacOS 10.8.2. Some DVDs converted (not all of them) have some problems with subtitles when playing on a WD TV Live (latest generation).
The problem is that only a few of the subtitle texts are actually displayed. That is, a subtitle text appears at the proper time, then disappears and the next subtitle does not appear and this goes on for several seconds (about 20 or even more) until eventually a text is displayed that is correct in time but the intermediate ones are missing. This makes impossible to follow the story.
All mkv files that I have with this problem play fine on VLC showing all the subtitles texts. This problem is not random and always happens on the same files on the same timing. So I conclude that is something on the files themselves that is not decoded well by the player.
The latest movie I had with this issue is "The Double" and I have splitted a short scene (33 seconds) with a lot of dialog and with just a few subtitle texts displayed. The file size is 25.5 MB. How can I upload it?
