Subtitles/captions under title and signs on some new iTunes movies

Recently I purchased "Indiana Jones - The Complete Collection" and was amazed to see that on all four movies, when the movie title is displayed or any sign, foreign subtitles appear underneath and I could not find a way to get rid of them. Subtitles are off, closed captioning is off. Apple were very responsive and gave me a refund and I assumed that it was only an error in these particular movies.


But, I just purchased four of the recently released, on iTunes, "James Bond" movies and they all suffer from the exact same problem and I cannot find any setting that is incorrect on my systems. These subtitles/captions are displayed under the movie title when it appears and any signs, if I watch them on my iMac or iPad and both have the latest software.


Are all of these movies being encoded incorrectly by Apple, is that really possible, or am I doing something wrong? Other movies I've purchased have never had this problem. Strangely the reviews for "Jaws" contain many descriptions of this exact problem, but for that movie I do not have the problem.


Can anyone help me understand what is going on, I cannot be the only one to be experiencing this?

I have the exact same problem. I bought Lady and the Tramp and Winnie the Poo last week and every time there is a scene with written text displayed, they have the foreign subtitle showing up underneath, and in my settings all the subtitles and captions are turned off. I have read in other threads this has happened before and apple sent out a notification to re download the movie after they fix it. Argh, frustrating
