  OK, in that case I added a bold warning. Other possibilities would be
to drop the coverage of the concat demuxer. Opinions on this are welcome.

  In case we decide to drop if from this article I would be glad to cover
it in a later one.

  You are right for some there is a subtitles dropdown in the download
dialog. I am not sure on which basis it is available or not. The Talks
I tested previously didn't have it so I came to the wrong conclusion.

  I added an dedicated entry for the subtitles filter and hopefully
corrected the TED entry. I hope I also addressed the comments by
Clement.

  PATCHv2 attached. Please review I will commit later if there are
no objections.
