Playback error if subtitles enabled - Clockw3rks - 2025-10-06
I've been ripping my DVDs and pulling the English subtitles over in Handbrake (so SPU format subtitles). The files play great as long as subtitles are not enabled and it looks like it's because something is going wrong with ffmpeg. I'm guessing that transcoding is necessary to make the subtitles work?
