Gibberish Closed Captioning subtitle

[macdavis]

Summary of the bug:
CC Subtitle is garbled. The subtitle position is also inappropriate.

How to reproduce:
Play "wwdc_2017_1080_cc.m4v" with MPV (download from ​http://podcasts.apple.com/apple_keynotes_1080p/2017/wwdc_2017_1080_cc.m4v)

The issue was initially reported to MPV develepers (link: ​https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/4493). One of the developers suggests submit it here as "FFmpeg also fails to decode anything useful from it."
