Hi all.
I've been encoding the Band Of Brothers series with DivX and decided to do episode 2 first.

Because I like the options of OGM (subtitle on/off) I decided to do the audio in .ogg and combine it into the .ogm container format with 2 different subtitles per episode (English & Dutch)

However, muxing all above mentioned files for episode 2 in Ogg Muxer 0.9.4.1 results in a problem during playback.

The Status window of my media player says the total duration of the episode is +/- 4 hours (sometimes +/- 3 hours), while the actual episode is only +/- 49 minutes.
Also the subtitles aren't working.

I've even tried muxing only one subtitle in the whole package, but all my effort seem to fail.

So, after a couple of times trying, I decided to try muxing with VirtualDubMod.

With VirtualDubMod it does show the correct time of the episode during playback in my media player, but here the subtitles also don't work..

Anyone know what causes this? Because this is the only episode/media file i'm encoutering troubling with trying to mux into the ogm container format

Thnx in advance :)

PS:
duration of episode 2 = 49:59 minutes
video filesize = 652 MB (Aim was +/- 700 MB)
Subtitles are in the .srt format

Open your srt files with notepad or wordpad - you may find your incorrect times in there.

Please post a reply if that solved your OGM issues (most likely it will, and it's no bug of OggMux.)

oh my.. how stupid of me..

It appears the subtitles start @ 3 hours
All the effort and time spent thinking it was some kind of a bug, while the fix was so simple..

I thank you for your help :)
