[FFmpeg-user] Burned dialog not appearing on large videos if time interval reduced

[Aameer Rafiq Wani]

Hey Guys,
This is in continuation of my previous question, since I didn't get any
response from you guys so I tried to look deeper into the issue and tried
with different video lengths and different videos and I got the expected
results for all except this video https://vimeo.com/140349795

which
I was using as a test video for long video tests, still not sure why cant
we see the second dialog(subtitle) when we reduce the time interval below 1
sec. Would appreciate if someone has some pointers to share which could
explain this unusual behavior.Thanks
Regards,
