MPEG1, MPEG2, VCD and DVD Notes

In some instances, subtitles may not appear properly in sync with the A/V - stream when using hardware decoding. This is a known bug. The em8300 will - also improperly handle subtitles that are too big, and may hang for a second - or two. At this time, the only workaround is to use -vop lavc - when viewing DVDs with subtitles. When running with -vop lavc - MPlayer will reencode video to MPEG (even if it already is MPEG). This means - that it will need more CPU power, and you might loose some picture quality.
