Thanks so much for all those highly helpful information but I forgot to
mention that I'm an Brit with MythTV set up with DVB-T so subtitles are
encoded in the MPEG-2 stream so while your information is excellent, it
can't be applied to my problem :(
Hopefully someone else will be able to help, and hopefully your
information will be useful for someone else in the future! :)
Thanks so much for your help again.
