[FFmpeg-devel] DVD subtitles

[Erik Slagter]

Hi, it's me again ;-)

As the AVFilter framework got merged recently, it looks to me a perfect 
basis for a hardsub filter, it looks like there doesn't exist something 
like that yet(?). Although I am ehrm... not too enthusiastic about 
hardcoding subtitles in video, encoding to mp4 with subtitles and 
playing on non-mplayer "equipment" seems to leave me no choice :-/

Anyway for this to work I'd reckon all (DVD) subtitles need to be 
detected correctly. At this moment it doesn't. In the past I had a 
workaround, forcing the probe routines to dive further into the file 
than it normally does, but it seems that this knob (#define) is no 
longer used.

So, my question: is there a (known) method/workaround to have 
ffmpeg/libav* detect all DVD subtitles in a vob? Or is this simply a 
bug/regression?

I already tried this:

  #define MAX_STD_TIMEBASES (60*12+5)
  static int get_std_framerate(int i){

But it doesn't help.

Thx.
