Well, perhaps the docs should be clearer about some things. (To me they
are. ;-))

It does say at the *very* top:
> ffmpeg [global_options] {[input_file_options] -i input_file} ... {[output_file_options] output_file} ...

And most options are described as such - note "(input)", "(output)", or
both:

Those relating only to a certain codec, demuxer or muxer are listed
elsewhere. (Demuxer options are obviously inputs options, muxers'
obviously outputs, but perhaps it should say so somewhere [it probably
does]. Codecs *can* be inputs and outputs.)

Okay, I still don't see the point where ffmpeg is not able to convert
to mov_text. I fail to find the proper description of that in this
thread. ;-)

Just like conversion from teletext to SRT works fine, so does this for
me:

$ ffmpeg -ss 00:03:20 -fix_sub_duration -txt_format text -txt_page 777 -i /home/barsnick/Downloads/PVR/20160130\ 2014\ -\ ZDF\ HD\ -\ München\ Mord.ts -map 0:v -map 0:2 -map 0:5 -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s mov_text -t 60 tmp/München_Mord.mp4

This displays fine in VLC, though I'm not sure whether you might want
better formatting.
