Hi,

I have GKnot 0.28.4 beta with VobSub 2.23 installed.

Currently when doing a preview with GKnot, the subtitles are not displayed.

I ripped the subs with Vobsub configure and selected the required stream there. On GKnots "Save and Encode" windows, I selected the VobSub-Files and pressed preview, but the subs are not displayed.

The encoded movie displays the subs correctly. So only the preview does not work.

With previous versions of GKnot and VobSub this worked.
Normaly I rip those substreams, which contains only those sub displayed when a character talks in a foreign (alien) language, or if those subs have no seperate stream, I save the forced subs of a "normal" stream into a file different file. Than I use GKnot to integrate the subs during encodind into the movie permanently.

Do you have the avi file and the idx, sub files in the same directory?
If so, the subs are not encoded with the movie are just displayed with dvobsub in media player(i think)
Try to open idx with subresync, select the language and save it.
Let me know if it works

As I allready said:

Subs work in encoded AVI-File.
They are not displayed in GKnot's preview (that's something that worked in previous versions).

make sure you configured dvobsub correctly - meaning that you selected correct index for subs in *.idx file

I found subs behave very strange from time to time...

p.s. which player r u using for preview ?
