Problem with displaying VobSub subtitles

[nemmy]

Hi. The problem I'm having has me kinda baffled and I'm out of ideas.

The following happens when I try to play x264 files. When there are soft-coded subtitles in the file, and those are bitmaps, they play just fine, turn on and off as I want.

When they are VobSub subtitles, I get the following error msg: A decoder for the new track could not be found. Track type: VobSub. I click okay, the player goes to a black screen and then nothing.

Now I know it's not the file itself that's screwy, because when I use a thumbnailing program, it creates those just fine.

Under Options > Preferences > Subtitles on the VobSub tab, 'Enable VobSub support' has been checked.

VobSub <=> bitmaps.

I understand that if the subtittles are in an external file, they work OK but if the subtitles are internal (included into the MKV file) you get the error message ?
Can you post here file specifications and which filters are used to decode such files ?

No, the subtitles are included in the file.

As for the info you asked for, would post it if I knew what you meant :)

If they are bitmaps, then it's a VobSub subtitle, that's why I was refering to external subtitles. Probably you ment to refer to text subtitles (sub, srt)

In this case you refer to internal bitmap (VobSub) subtitles

Open file in Media Info, for example, for file specifications
For filters used, open a file, rightclick -> options -> filters

OK, now, if you click on source filter, on the right hand you will see the splitter details. Can you post here ?

OK, can you post here or via PM a link to such a file to test ?
