[mkv] Will play video track 1.

Hmm... I test this on Windows in Zoom Player and Light Alloy with latest Haali
splitter, and it doesn't work, too (vsfilter doesn't show subtitles) Maybe it's
a bug in mmg/mkvmerge? Or it's a new feature (v2) and it's not properly realized?

could be a bug, or unsupported yet, or both! :)

i'm gonna mark this invalid, until other players start supporting v2
or until you get a sample that plays properly.

Sorry, but I need to reopen this bug because today I compile vlc-0.8.6 and it show
subtitles very well (sample files too)

The v2 sample lacks block duration information for subtitles, and cannot be displayed correctly. With this file, mkvextract produces a .srt where all subtitles have zero duration.
It seems like a bug in mkvtoolnix 1.8.1.
VLC simply displays each subtitle until the beginning of the next one. That's not a solution at all.

I post a bug in bugzilla of mkvtoolnix developer https://www.bunkus.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215
