The problem with the classic Star Wars Trilogy DVDs is the following: The subtitles won't be displayed or only very seldom. On the other hand, mplayer gives the following output: ... Starting playback... SPUasm: invalid frag len / len2: 625 / 3 189/189 0% 0% 2.9% 0 0 SPUasm: invalid frag len / len2: 69 / 0 228/228 0% 0% 2.6% 0 0 SPUasm: invalid frag len / len2: 1833 / 0 12/312 0% 0% 2.3% 0 0 SPUasm: invalid frag len / len2: 1177 / 0 74/374 0% 0% 2.1% 0 0 ... and so forth. Same is valid for the Indiana Jones DVDs. I have prepared a stream portion of chapter 24 (Han Solo talking to Jabba the Hutt), which features forced subtitles as well. It's the german DVDs with the following subtitle layout: 0: en 1: de 2: tr 3: de 4: de 5: en 6: en 7: de Looks like the parsing of the subtitle stream still raises some problems... Thanks a lot, Alexander Roalter
