I am currently using Handbrake (video converting software) to turn ogm to mkv format. When I play the converted media (mkv) using WD TV live hub the subtitles disappear too soon (like half a second) I can’t read it but on my PC it’s just fine. The only reason I have to convert formats is because the WD TV Live hub still has issues playing ogm. What can I do to fix the subtitles from disappearing too soon? Can developers fix this ogm and vorbis problem so I don’t have to go through the trouble of converting media formats? I can’t stand seeing too many unsynchronized and mismatched video and audio.
I’ve got the same issue of the subtitles appearing too briefly / disappearing too quickly when watching a .mkv on my WDTV Live Hub, albeit arrived at differently…
I’ve used AnyDVD HD (6.7.9.0) to back up my original copy of “I, Robot” (2 disc Special Edition, FWIW) to a USB disk in .BUP/.IFO/.VOB format/structure. That disk is now connected to the WDTVLH. I’ve then used MakeMKV (v1.6.10) against that structure. The resultant .mkv is on the WDTVLH internal disk and contains all 5 Audio and all 4 Subtitle tracks, obviously in addition to the main feature video.
I can watch the .BUP/.IFO/.VOB image on the WDTVLH and all subtitles appear as expected/normal. But, when I watch the .mkv on the WDTVLH all subtitles appear too briefly / disappear too quickly. I can view the exact same .mkv using vlc and subtitles are perfectly fine.
FWIW the problem I was seeing was down to MakeMKV v1.6.10.
MakeMKV v1.6.12 revision notes mention an incorporated fix: “Subtitles were displayed too short on some players”. The subtitle display period on my WDTVLH has been fine ever since moving to v1.6.12.

As for OGM Player, Bigasoft Total Video Converter is recommended. Bigasoft Total Video Converter can not only convert between various video formats but also play OGM files with its built-in video player for free. It can freely play OGM, OGV, and OGG in preview screen or full screen, and even can play OGM file with subtitle. you can find at http://www.bigasoft.com/articles/how-to-play-ogm-files.html
You could just use an actual subtitle file in addition to what you already have so as not to re-encode your movies. There are a bunch of sites that have free subtitle files you can download and work great with the WDHUB as well as VLC wtc. I have had sucess finding subtitles I need at:
I have not gotten idx/sub working so far (on FW 2.06.10). The Hub doesn’t seem to see the files when you hit the subtitle button. Text based subs (.sub, .srt) work great. Any one else figur this out?
