I have a movie which has some forced subtitles at the very beginning and the very end. There are a total of 11 subtitles.
I have included the timings but not the text or numbers to save space.
The first 3 subtitles up to 00:02:58 display as normal.
Then 4 subtitles from 00:03:02 up to 00:04:29 fail to display.
There are no more subtitles until 01:55, after which there are 5 from 01:55 to 02:00:50. These display because (I think) by this point in normal viewing the file is fully decoded (the film finishes at 02:09:15).
Once the file is fully decoded I can go back to 00:04:28 and the subtitles now display.
If I quit the player and reopen the file, then pause the film at 04:28, there are no subtitles until the film is almost fully decoded, at which point they suddenly appear in the paused frame.
System: MacBook? running Mac OS 10.5.2
Perian: v1.1
Players: both Quicktime Player & NicePlayer? - same problem
File: Matroska .mkv containing 1 Video track: H.264; 3 Audio tracks: AAC Stereo, AC3 5.1, AC3 2.0; 2 subtitle tracks: English Text, Forced English Text (from .srt files)
The full English subtitle works fine all the way through if selected under "video track" in NicePlayer?
There is no problem in displaying either the forced or full subtitles on VLC
There are no .srt files in the directory from which the .mkv file is being played.
