[FFmpeg-user] make mpeg2 file with hardcoded subs from .srt file

[Albert Scholtalbers]

Hi there,

I'm trying to produce MPEG2 files with hardcoded subs using ffmpeg under
Windows.
I'm following the instructions here:
http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/How%20to%20burn%20subtitles%20into%20the%20video
I get perfect MPEG2 files with the default template in winff.
ffmpeg.exe -y -i "E:\src.mkv" -f dvd -target ntsc-dvd -r 29.97 -vf
scale=720:480 -aspect 16:9 -b:v 8000k -g 12 -mbd rd -trellis 1 -flags +mv0
-cmp 0 -subcmp 2 "E:\dest.mpg"

When I enter the option -vf subtitles=src.srt, like this

ffmpeg.exe -y -i "E:\src.mkv" -vf subtitles=src.srt -f dvd -target ntsc-dvd
-r 29.97 -vf scale=720:480 -aspect 16:9 -b:v 8000k -g 12 -mbd rd -trellis 1
-flags +mv0 -cmp 0 -subcmp 2 "E:\dest.mpg"

I get still the same mpeg file, without any subs....

When I type ffmpeg.exe I see it's compiled with libass

What is the problem, what am I doing wrong?

The output is this:
