[FFmpeg-user] Adding Subtitles Problem...

[Mike Kavanagh]

Hi,

Okay it makes sense to do it this way.

My only concern is that the captions are not "hard coded" into the video
which would be more 'transportable'.

But given that not all players can view them anyway this seems like an
academic concern.

Google knows. You've heard of Google? ;-)

(The three supported formats are not embedded in the video container,
AFAICT.)
