The one with type 03 looks like any other subtitle track I've seen so far, like X 3 03 rus X 3 03 dan X 3 03 ger in a "La Crim" broadcast on French tv. According to the specs this is "VBI data". The one with type 11 is "DVB subtitles (normal) for display on 4:3 aspect ratio monitor". None of these two is specified as "for the hard of hearing". >From what I was able to see in the clip you provided, the "dut" track is there from the very beginning (don't know if it actually contains Dutch texts, though - my guess would have been it is Finnish), and the "fin" track only appears when the woman speaks English. Since the 03 subtitles seem to be the same as what the narrator is saying (which apparently is Finnish), it looks like the track description is wrong to begin with, and the "dut" track is actually "Finnish for the hard of hearing". If subtitles are enabled, VDR tries to display the best match as defined in the setup. However, if no best match can be found, it displays the first one that arrives. Maybe this is what's causing the problems here. While this makes sense for audio, it might not be that useful for subtitles. I guess some change in cDevice::EnsureSubtitleTrack() needs to be done to fix this. However, there still would be the problem that VDR couldn't even tell that the "dut" track is "for the hard of hearing", because it is not properly marked. Or am I missing something here?
