Most commercial DVDs that you purchase have warnings on the package  
about "delays", glitches" and other "artifacts" which may occur at  
layer change time.

I'm not sure of the details but I suspect it has as much to do with  
the firmware in the drive itself as it does the software being used  
to read from the drive.

Do the captions go away forever? Do they come back when you stop and  
restart?

Does the problem occur with other playback software>

I suspect it is not a Myth problem, but rather a problem when using  
Myth.
