The problem was introduced in commit
f91906973c62459f31beb5683a8e2105758af0bb in June 2020
The problem is reproducible with 'Test for Quicktime 608 CC file.mov' from
https://samples.ffmpeg.org/MPEG2/subcc/
A fix was provided in June 2023:
https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2023-June/310456.html
Two alternative fixes were provided in February 2025:
https://ffmpeg.org//pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2025-February/339780.html
https://ffmpeg.org//pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2025-February/339790.html
Attached are screenshots demonstrating the problem with the closed
captions corruption caused in get_eia608_packet, and what the captions are
supposed to look like when get_eia608_packet is fixed.
