Subtitles disappear when the player goes to new VOB file

[davidwoolf]

I installed version o.9.6 yesterday. Running on a MacBook running Tiger OSX 10.4.11.
My main interest in using VLC is to watch Region 2 movies without having to rip them using MacTheRipper. But I'm having a problem with subtitles.

The videolan.org wiki says at this page:
http://wiki.videolan.org/What_can_vlc_do%3F
“Note: On Mac OS X, the "Video->Subtitles track" menu item is permanently disabled for some reason. You must manually specify the location of the subtitles file in the 'Subpictures' pane of the preferences.”

I find that I can make subtitles appear by clicking Video on the menu bar when the movie is playing and then going down to the Subtitles Track entry. I then select the track which has English (trial and error necessary sometimes). However, there is still a problem: whenever the player switches between VOB files as the movie progresses, the subtitles disappear and I have to select the subtitle track again. Is there any way to avoid this? I am playing a Finnish movie which has s/t in 3 different languages.
