    hi,

    problem
    in subtitle workshop, in the video preview i see two sets of subtitles, somewhat like one on top of the other
    one set is the editable set and the other is uneditable

    additional info
    it seems the second set of subtitles is coming from the filter activated in order to playback the file for the preview
    in windows i see 3 things active, ffdshow video and audio decoder and directvobsub
    if i prevent the last from loading then everything is ok, only one set of subtitles is displayed in workshop, the editable set
    but then, i have to reenable the filter in order to view the subtitles in a video player

    they suggested i rename the srt or to disable the filter everytime i want to edit in workshop but i think that can't be right, is this how subtitle workshop works? is this how you do it?

    Dvobsub is supposed to be "active" when an application (WMP for example) is "rendering"
    the file in directshow, and as you say, the subs have the same file name as the movie.

    Does Subtitle Workshop render the movie? Does it have a movie preview of some kind?
    If it does indeed actually open the movie itself, you may need to take the advice
    and disable dvobsub or rename the srt.
