Comment:

 This user was actually reporting a bug that affects mpv. mpv can open
 external subtitle files. It failed with the given sample file, because
 libavformat does not properly recognize it. The user just tried to
 reproduce it with ffmpeg-native utilities.

 If you run ffprobe on the file, you'll find that it prints
 {{{
     Stream #0:0: Video: ansi, pal8, 640x400, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25
 tbc
 }}}
 which is wrong.
