[FFmpeg-user] Subtitle filter and filename with quotes and spaces

[Ramit Bhalla]

Thanks for the prompt response. What about the colon, Slashes and the
single quote - do those needs to be escaped?

Also, where is this documented? I can't seem to get what's written here:
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-utils.html#Quoting-and-escaping
to work.

And if you don't mind is there a simpler way to enclose the entire string
in a some escaped character (like I assumed double quotes, I tried single
quotes and that also doesn't work).
