Corruption in displayed VobSub subtitles

Description

When extracting DVD subtitle streams to vobsubs, mencoder writes the vobsubs correctly (verified with e.g. VLC).

However, when either playing with mplayer or muxing/burning in a video stream with mencoder, some parts of the vobsub stream are incorrectly displayed (incomprehensable rectangle of (probably not so random dots).

As this does not happen very often, I guess this could be considered a bordercase. Nevertheless reproducible with all mplayer/mencoder versions of the last year. Tested and confirmed with today's head (2009-05-27) too.

Small .idx/.sub fileset, with 3 subtitles.
First and last subtitle are displayed OK, second subtitle is corrupted.

Displays OK in VLC.

Please note timestamps of the subtitles are 6 minutes & later, so you'd probably want to overlay the subtitles on a video fragment of adequate size (or modify the .idx file).

Bug still present in mplayer SVN-r29324-snapshot-4.3.2 (2009-09-26).

Two additional data points :

  1. As said, VLC displays the subtitles OK ; this is also the case with HandBrake (​http://handbrake.fr/), which decodes/encodes them correctly.
  1. Avidemux (​http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/) has almost the same problem : double-line subtitles are not completely corrupted as with mplayer, but show them with a large interspace/offset.

The Avidemux source code (file ADM_vidVobSubRender.cpp) mentions its VobSub RLE decoder is derived from mplayer.

I'll add screenshots from VLC, mplayer and Avidemux to illustrate the problem (I already attached .sub and .idx files showing the problem when opening the bug).

Typo, should be : "screenshot in VLC (ok)"

Note : corruption only occurs in double-line subtitles.
