[FFmpeg-user] need help with 'drawtext' usage

[pgoldweic]

Hi,
I'm a newbie to ffmpeg and I would like to draw a title on top of a video
clip. I've installed an ffmpeg executable for Windows (just downloaded),
compiled with the following options:
--enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-memalign-hack
--enable-runtime-cpudetect --enable-avisynth --enablebzlib --enable-frei0r
--enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-armwb --enable-libfreetype
-- enable-libgsm -- enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopenjpeg --enablelibrtmp
--enable-libschroedinger --enable-libspeex --enable-libtheora
--enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libxavs --
enable-libxvid -- enable-zlib --pkg-config=pkg-config


When I run the following command, I get no text whatsoever on my clip. Any
suggestions on what could be wrong?
ffmpeg -i mymovie.mov -vcodec copy -acodec copy -vf
"drawtext=fontfile=c:\Windows\Fonts\arial.ttf:text='test'" mytitledmovie.mov

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
