Apparently I spoke too soon. All I'm getting at the moment is one random 
subtitle that bears no relation to the dialogue. 

I'm ripping the subtitles with:

mencoder -vobsubout temp -sid 0 -slang en -nosound -ovc copy -o /dev/null 
dvd://4

Which gives a file that looks like:

# VobSub index file, v7 (do not modify this line!)

...

and I remove the errant timestamp.

playback with any of the following, results in a single out of place subtitle 
and then no further subtitles.

mplayer -vobsub temp -alang ja dvd://4
mplayer -vobsub temp -vobsubid 0 -alang ja dvd://4
mplayer -vobsub temp -vobsubid 0 -alang ja -slang en dvd://4

with the following output (with -v):

any ideas?
