Hi, I did a lot testing with subtitles some months ago, and it is
working now.

Version 0.3 of dvbtextsubs is not working as well as version 0.2, if you
start from the beginning of a film, I do not know why. Try version 0.2,
too. You can find it at http://www.linuxstb.org/dvbtextsubs.

I did have same kind of problems with subtitle colors, too. I had
installed new version of Dvdauthor, but some old version from Mandrake
installation was still there, and it was found before the new one. When
I removed it, I have got subtitle colors correctly. I have now DvdAuthor
version 0.6.10.
