[MEncoder-users] Subtitle-woes

[Hynek Schlawack]

Hi,

I've ripped a vob from a DVD using

`mplayer dvd://1 -dumpstream -dumpfile X.vob'

This vob contains subtitles (yes I'm sure, I can watch them using `-sid
nr') I really need, so I'd like to dump them. If I understand the docs
right, the option of choice for this task is `-dumpsub'. Unfortunately,
the result is not very satisfying:

,----[ $ mplayer X.vob -dumpsub ]

| MPEG-PS file format detected.

| Core dumped ;)

| Exiting... (End of file)
`----

Also, while `-sid nr' works fine, `-vobsubid nr' doesn't work at all.

Any hints what I'm doing wrong?
