The Cyberlink MPEG2 + DXVA + DVD bug is well known and is already in the bug database. It is known for menu highlighting, I am not sure that subtitle aspect was previously known or not, so that may be an additional bit of information.
It did not mention the subtitle problem I have added it.

It was unclear if it affected just Cyberlink or all MPEG2 decoders in DXVA mode. I can confirm IG's comment it also affects the MS decoder.

It also suggested it affects all Windows versions, but XP SP3 definitely works fine here (with VMR9 renderless).

I don't think PDVD7 will help, although I have not tested it. It does seem to affect all DXVA MPEG2 decoders on Vista (EVR CP).

if you look in the bug tracker though you will see you can get it to work by regressing to an earlier version. Maybe you can use one version for DVDs and one for other things?

Also, unless you are right up against it on CPU (and your PC would have to be very old) Kumi's suggestion of DXVA deinterlacing and ffdshow decoding sounds pretty good. DXVA deinterlacing is why I use the Cyberlink decoder.
