</div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>I have a number of DVDs that claim to have closed captions, but whose display in MythTV is sporadic at best. From what you're describing (all caption text seems to be intact in the .srt file), it sounds like the timecodes might be messed up in the original DVD MPEG source. Do the timecodes in your .srt file look reasonable? I.e. the duration of each subtitle, and the end time of one subtitle compared to the start time of the next subtitle.</div>
<div><br></div><div>BTW, the closed captions are encoded as special packets in the MPEG file. It is up to the player to render them onto the video image and/or insert them into the analog VBI output signal. Only the former is possible when using component or HDMI output. MythTV has never done the latter, though commercial DVD players probably do.</div><span><font color="#888888">

Watching in myth it was terribly often off, e.g. person left the room and then their dialogue would appear. I downloaded the Windows version of Subtitle Edit and when I open the files on my desktop the audio and subtitles were perfectly synced. I had done nothing. Why would they be off in Myth?<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Just curious if SE does some autofixing when it loads. Don't have access to the mythbox right now as the missus is asleep. Should I resave the .srt file and check the myth in the morning?<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>Just checked. The captions are still out of sync, off by five seconds, sometimes ten or more despite the fact that they're perfect in Windoze.<br><br></div><div>I'm wondering if this is a skipping issue I saw in some threads. The film opens with a few minutes of silent action so I always skip to where the dialogue starts.<br><br></div><div>Further info:<br><br></div><div>.mkv video<br></div><div>external .srt file<br></div><div>i.e. the file browser has title.mkv and title.srt<br><br></div><div>Thanks<br></div><div><br><br></div></div><br></div></div>
