[Ffmpeg-devel] Bug? Subtitles not detected in vob

Interesting..  I may have some patches for you to try
(though not concerning your problem described below).
Currently, ffmpeg doesn't play very nicely with subtitles unless
they appear regularly.

Just a data point -- it did work fine at some time in the past:
