Has anyone else seen this ??
In DVDA2a, I added a 2 hour movie (created in Vegas5b), with a couple dozen chapter points, as a single button on a single menu. I then added a subtitle track and imported the subtitles from the exported regions in Vegas.
I only had 2 subtitle texts, each lasting about an hour (basically the date of the original 2 videos that had been concatenated).
Sometimes, when jumping (either ff/rw or prev/next) around, the subtitles will not be shown. If the subtitle is showing, and I fast forward, most of the time, the subtitle will not be displayed again when I resume normal playback speed (btw, rewinding back to the point where it had been working does not make it work again). During that same spot, if I don't fast forward, the subtitle continues to be displayed correctly.
Certain chapters consistently are missing the subtitle if accessed via the prev/next buttons. If the subtitle is currently being displayed correctly and normal playback continues through those chapter points, the subtitle is displayed correctly (hitting prev will cause the chapter to start over and the subtitle to disappear). Certain points during playback (usually chapter points, I think), will cause a missing subtitle to be shown again.
I tested this in Windows Media Player 9, Power DVD 4, an Apex DVD Player and a Sony DVD Player to ensure it wasn't a compatibility issue.
In an attempt to narrow this down, I changed the out-point and deleted the second subtitle text. This left about a 1 hour video and only 1 subtitle. The problem still existed.
I took the sample project included with DVDA2, and changed it to have only 1 subtitle entry, but it didn't exhibit the same problem. I'm thinking it has something to do with the length of the video and consequently, the length of the subtitle entry.
Does anyone know how the subtitle (subpicture stream ?) fits into the DVD format ? It seems like jumping to certain points in the video is resulting in an inability to find the last subtitle entry (probably because it's not changing very frequently ?? which is probably not the way it's normally used).
