Phil, I tried your clip (the second one from Google Drive, not the
broken first one from filetolink), and it doesn't show captions for me
either.

I noticed that the clip on a Mac 0.26 frontend does not trigger VDA
hardware-accelerated playback. In my experience VDA supports a much
smaller number of encodings than Nvidia VDPAU, so this isn't the first
such. (It does support HD-PVR recordings, no doubt the largest single
source of h.264/MP4 content for MythTV.)  My VDPAU frontend is down at
the moment; in your experience, does VDPAU support Comcast's MP4
channels?
