None of these display the subtitles no matter how many times I press "T" or select the subtitles from the mythtv menu.  Muxing the idx/sub files gives me a tantalizing new item in the menu that says "Select Subtitle" as opposed to just the usual "Select VBI CC", but it doesn't display the subtitles.  No error messages are given, but it does say "2010-01-14 18:10:26.200 AFD: Opened codec 0x9f109480, id(DVD_SUBTITLE) type(Subtitle)" with the muxed idx/sub version of the file, which is promising I guess.  My questions are:

1) not that I've been able to confirm, it's been pushed to .23 or later.
2) not sure, but not as far as I know
3) You coded the sub as UTF-8? Those seem to work here.
