Hi, this patch seems to fix those cases where subtitles don't appear. Might break some other subtitles though (maybe just increasing the limit would be a better idea??). But I guess we might get away with it since there's that complicated check at the end... Please comment or at least test. Unless you have a better idea, I'd suggest applying in the hope that it works - if not we will at least get some samples to check out the border cases. On the subject of samples: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/starwarssub2.vob shows this problem quite nicely, maybe somebody could add it to the samples? Greetings, Reimar Döffinger
