[MPlayer-users] Problem with ASS subtitles

[Duane Evenson]

Mplayer runs fine, but when including a ASS subtitle, I get the 
following types of output:
750)}Translator: Kane

I looked at the subtitle file and here's the offending line:
Dialogue: 
0,0:00:04.47,0:00:08.47,Staff,,0000,0000,0070,,{\fad(750,750)}Translator: 
Kane

I read up on the ASS specifications and this line seems legal.
Is there something I'm missing, or is the problem that mplayer doesn't 
fully support fades in ASS subtitles?
