Re: "create now" vobsub, leaves empty .sub file

Thanks Jörn.

yes, deleting the ps1 file and doing "create" now works.

the strange thing is that this only seemed to happen with this dvd.

i think this might be because the first time i ripped it, my user did not
have mount privileges on the dvd drive.   this isn't required for
video/audio ripping, but is required to get the ifo file for subs and
dvd::rip was silently failing.

perhaps the requirement of mount access should be added to the docs for
subtitles?
