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

[Ramit Bhalla]

BTW I tried this:

-vf subtitles=D:\MCEBuddy\MCEBuddy^
2.x\MCEBuddy.ServiceCMD\bin\x86\Debug\working0\HD^ Small'.srt

and the results was

[NULL @ 045d6620] Unable to find a suitable output format for
'2.x\MCEBuddy.ServiceCMD\bin\x86\Debug\working0\HD^'
2.x\MCEBuddy.ServiceCMD\bin\x86\Debug\working0\HD^: Invalid argument
