ah, sorry, i included the output from my command in an attachment, but i 
wasn't sure how this list handles attachments or if it would go through 
correctly.  for my simplest test case, here's how i run mplayer and 
mencoder:

mplayer dvd://16 -aid 128 -sid 0 -v -nosound
mencoder dvd://16 -aid 128 -sid 0 -nosound -ovc lavc -o out.avi -v

(i have a much more complex script that will come up with particular 
parameters, but to keep the error case simple, i've left all those options 
out.)  with these commands, mplayer will display subtitles, but out.avi 
does not have them.  also, like i said earlier, if i do the same thing 
with another dvd like The Matrix, the subtitles appear in both cases. 
i haven't been able to see any errors or indication that subtitles were 
being ignored in the output, but i've appended mencoder's listing at the 
end of this email.

thanks,
