Hello,

I can confirm this "bug" (can i call it bug without report? Guess not) with Mplayer.

It only affects subtitles muxed into MKV container, and the subs work perfectly with other media players like VLC(no doubling of lines).

MPlayer version is MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.4.3 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team, guess i should try with newest svn?

Greetings,

Henrik
