86 In some instances, subtitles may not appear properly in sync with the A/V stream
87 when using hardware decoding ('-vc mpegpes'). This is a known bug. The em8300
88 will also improperly handle subtitles that are too big, and may hang for a second
89 or two. At this time, the only workaround is to use '-vc mpeg12' when viewing
90 DVDs with subtitles.
