In raising this issue, I confirm the following:

I have read and understood the contributors guide.
I have checked that the bug-fix I am reporting can be replicated, or that the feature I am suggesting isn't already present.
I have checked that the issue I'm posting isn't already reported.
I have checked that the issue I'm porting isn't already solved and no duplicates exist in closed issues and in opened issues
I have checked the pull requests tab for existing solutions/implementations to my issue/suggestion.
I have used the latest available version of CCExtractor to verify this issue exists.
I have ticked all the boxes in this section and to prove it I'm deleting the section completely to remove boilerplate text.

Necessary information

Is this a regression (i.e. did it work before)? YES
What platform did you use? Linux and Mac
What were the used arguments? ccextractor file.mp4 -out-webvtt

Video links

N/A

Additional information

I have some video files with 608/708 embedded captions and have been using ccxtractor to generate webvtt captions files. This has been successful with version 0.88 for some time. I recently installed version 0.94 and get this error

[CEA-708] dtvcc_handle_G0: Window has to be defined first
[CEA-708] dtvcc_handle_CWx_SetCurrentWindow: window [0] is not defined
