vobsub2srt doesn't detect subtitles in this file. #3

I am trying to use this program on vobsubs extracted from an mkv track. I don't have an IFO file. The subtitles were extracted using mkvextract. The program appearsYou can download the offending .sub/.idx files from my dropbox.

Here is the file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4660781/problem_vobsub.zip

I believe that at https://github.com/ruediger/VobSub2SRT/blob/master/src/vobsub2srt.c++#L177 vobsub_get_next_packet returns -1 causing the program to skip the main loop entirely. If you could shed any light on the situation that would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Can you play those subtitles with mplayer? vobsub_get_next_packet is in https://github.com/ruediger/VobSub2SRT/blob/master/mplayer/vobsub.c#L1212

I will double check. But they seem to work in avidemux's vobsub->srt OCR functionality. and in vlc playback.

UPDATE: I just tried loading the program in "MPlayer OS X Extended" and it does not appear to be able to recognize the subtitles. I wonder if the ffmpeg project or VLC's code could provide a solution.

Either way it doesn't throw an error message or provide any feedback on how many subtitles were converted.

If mplayer doesn't play the subs then something is wrong in their decoding code (which is used by vobsub2srt). You should report this bug to the mplayer project and when they fix their code, I can import their changes.

Thanks for reporting this bug and lets hope the mplayer guys will quickly fix it.

two years no feedback. I'm closing the bug.
