Description
Using mplayer svn, revision 27809
When playing certain avi files with .sub subtitles, they are black and badly visible.
This seems to be file-specific problem, I have other files that do play fine with that format of subs within mplayer.
However all of them plays fine in other programs like vlc.

Thank you for your response!
You are right - there is .idx file beside and looking into it I found the answer. Palette was already defined, however there was a line after that:
# Custom colors (transp idxs and the four colors)
custom colors: ON, tridx: 1000, colors: 000000, ebe60a, 000000, 000000
which seems to override that palette, setting this to OFF caused subtitles to turn white.
I guess only mplayer was corretly behaving, other programs were in fact ignoring it, so I assumed it's mplayer problem.
1:0 for mplayer and thanks for your explanation!
VobSub are bitmap subtitles with a separate palette.
MPlayer tries to select a default one (and other programs probably another one), but that will often be wrong.
You need an .ifo file with a "palette: " line for it to work correctly.
You can try
palette: 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, 0xffffffff
and you should get all-white subs. Replace with 0x0 as appropriate.
If it does not work, uploading a sample file would help.
And patches to improve documentation on this are welcome.
