I've been recently trying to implement my own code to render idx/sub files. Reason is that I have some experience in OCR and was thinking of trying my hand at the obvious combination of these abilities.

After perusing the usual sources on the internet for the subtutle binary format I had a nice subtitle renderer programmed. I used a single DVD as test material.

As soon as I shifted to a new DVD, I wasn't able to render properly any more. So my question is about the detailed specifics of the DVD subtitle binary format is anyone's able or willing to chime in.

I can render the first set (with removind interspersed private package headres and so on) but I just don't see where the second set is going wrong..... Avidemux shows all subtitles fine. IS there anyone out there with enough knowledge to help me? I've already been throught he source code for the subtitle renderer for Avidemux and have tried (unsuccessfully as it seems) to copy the functionality. And before anyone asks, no I'm not programming in C, C++, C#, Java, Pascal, Basic, Fortran, Lisp os anything anyone else here is probably using..... (Go on, ask!)
