Closed Captions in DVD - Bugalo - 2021-05-10

Hi, 

I have a set of DVD images created by myself. They are a full dump of the original DVDs. They have Closed Captions. I enabled parsing for closed captions following this link:

https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Player/Language#Enable_parsing_for_closed_captions

but when I activate the subtitles, the Closed Captions would not play. Under the "Subtitle settings" menu, the "Subtitle"entry shows "Unknown [captions] (1/1)", grayed out instead of white,  and I cannot select it or modify it in any way. The closed captions are functional in the DVD image because I can play them just fine with VLC. Am I doing anything wrong? Do I need to activate any other setting in order for them to play?

I am using Kodi 19.1 in Gentoo Linux.
