The subtitles are built into the movie file I was trying to watch. I have found that a tool called mkvextract (package mkvtoolnix) can be used to extract the subtitles. Unfortunately, this program generates an unhandled exception each time I run it with proper parameters. I haven't found another way to do it on Linux yet.
Here's some info about the movie file: container: Ogg/OGM Track ID 0: video (DX50) Track ID 1: audio (Vorbis) Track ID 2: audio (Vorbis) Track ID 3: subtitles (text) -- Totem won't display cyrillic subtitles https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139801 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
