Hi there !!!
I use ffdshow for displaying subtitles (with MPC-HC) and so far everything just works fine with SRT. However, when there are VobSub subtitles embedded, ffdshow doesn't work as expected.
An example: Let's say I got a VobSub stream with 6 subtitles.
> 00:03:45 - 00:03:47 ..... Text #1
> 00:04:52 - 00:04:57 ..... Text #2
> 00:05:27 - 00:05:30 ..... Text #3
> 00:16:11 - 00:16:13 ..... Text #4
> 00:18:03 - 00:18:07 ..... Text #5
> 00:21:34 - 00:21:40 ..... Text #6
In this case ffdshow would correctly display only the first 3 entries. The following ones are all skipped. In other words, after Text #3 no subtitle is displayed anymore :confused:!
The only conspicuousness I can see is the time space between Text #3 and Text #4. So it seems, that ffdshow stops displaying subtitles everytime when there's a major time lag between two entries.
Up until now my workaround is simply to use DirectVobSub instead of ffdshow. But nevertheless I wonder, if someone else has got this problem, too, because every version of ffdshow I tried over the last year had this "bug (?)".
