Just now, I've tried with Ogle (not compiled myself). It displays the
subtitles perfectly, whereas MPlayer just doesn't show even a hint of
something resembling subtitles. I didn't try with xine, because it's a much
bigger download, and already determined that it *is* MPlayer specific. I am
not really familiar with how the subtitles are extracted and how the palette
is chosen and so on, but maybe it has something to do with libdvdread 0.9.4
vs. libmpdvdkit? If this isn't possible, I'm not going to try to reinstall
everything, though.
