Unrelated: You can call the Gusari forum FFmpeg but 
please do not call it a developer forum.

You cannot put random codecs (in this case mov_text) 
into mpegts, this does not work.
FFmpeg (still) expects you to know what you are 
doing and (at least in this case) prints no 
warning.
Do you believe that your flv player supports text 
subtitles as in this directory?

If yes, this could be possible in the future, if not 
there is nothing that FFmpeg can do.
Similar for mpegts: What does your player support?
