Apparently lots of people are having problems with DirectVobSub not noticing subtitles after a linked OP or ED file plays. I'm one of them, and just looking around I found FOUR more threads here with the exact same problem.

This thread (Formula started using split chapters for Shugo Chara), and even earlier in the thread we're in right now.

That's a significant number of people.
I'm having this problem, and I'm running Vista, the latest version of CCCP, a slightly older CoreAVC, and MPC. I use CoreAVC to play MKV files and not FFDshow.
The solution to this problem is very simple, I've found. After the OP plays (and subtitles fail to appear), double-click on the green DirectVobSub arrow in the taskbar. DirectVobSub settings will appear. Next, change the tab from "Main" to "General". For whatever reason, at this point VobSub "wakes up" and realizes there are subtitles again, and begins displaying correctly.
If anyone knows what is going on here, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could lend some advice. It's not a life-threatening problem, but it is annoying to have to "wake up" VobSub every time after you play an OP file.
Thanks for listening - and hopefully people will realize now that this is a specific problem with the new chapter system and not someone's individual PC. Perhaps it's an issue with CoreAVC (edit: just tried it running FFDshow, no change), or perhaps its something with VobSub, I don't know.
