I just encoded Armageddon to 2 CDs using Koepi's newest XviD build. Subtitles where converted to srt using SubRip1.15. I then muxed the streams together using OggMux 0.942. When I played back the file the subtitles were all messed up. I can still see but am unable to read them. They're extremely distorted...
I tried the following:
-load the srt file with ffdshow (displayed correctly)
So it seems to be an ogm problem
-Same movie, no sound, same subs
-Same movie, no sound, other subs (die hard 3)
Both tries resulted in the same weird problem.
-Other movie (DH3), no sound, same subs This one actually worked fine. Subtitles were displayed correctly.
Now, it seems to be related to the AVI-file. So I thought it might be clever to encode the movie again, no fancy stuff this time. Muxed it all together, but still experienced that strange subtitle playback problem...
Since I encoded the other movie, Die Hard 3, a day before and might have changed some settings, I encoded Die Hard 3 again, using the exact same settings that I used in the second Armageddon rip (which didn't work). The result was just fine! So the problem...
...is not related to the subtitle files
...is not related to the sound
...is not related to the XviD settings
...is not related to the OggMux version (tried 0.94, too)
...is not related to ffdshow (,is it?)
...seems to be related to the source???!!!
I use srt subtitles in every single rip if possible and have never experienced any problems with them. Does anyone know what's going on?? What impact does the video have on how the subtitles are displayed??
