Expected Behavior
OBS switches scenes.
Current Behavior
OBS crashed while switching scenes.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create two scenes, one contains nothing, the other contains a single VLC Video Source
- Have the VLC Video Source play a file that contains embedded text subtitles.
- Once the subtitles have displayed, switch to the blank scene. OBS will freeze indefinitely or seg-fault.

Anything else we should know?
I updated from OBS 27 to 29 today and also switch from the Snap install to the Apt install at the same time, this only started occurring when I did that.
I have a core dump not sure if you need it or where to upload it.
Example video file I'm having trouble with is attached here, it has multiple embedded fonts which could contribute to the issue possibly.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash using the listed Ubuntu 22.04 setup, two scenes, the VLC Video Source, and the attached subtitle-bearing video. Inspect the OBS log and crash log linked in the issue, then verify that switching away after subtitles appear no longer freezes or segfaults.
