I have one where they always work. I have several where they don't show up at 
all.

I have one where only some of them seem to, but I didn't look at the subtitles 
on that one before running into this issue (as it's in my native language), 
so I don't know if it's just badly subtitled or if it's a real problem with 
that DVD.
