[FFmpeg-user] filter: subtitles and special chars

[Mike F]

Hello Nicolas,

Let me start with this first, to clarify.

Hello. You just hijacked a thread. It is forbidden on this list. I
suggest you re-read the posting guidelines carefully in order to not do
anything forbidden again.

I am aware of the rules... and none of:

"thread hijacking (that is, replying to a thread and changing the subject line to something completely unrelated that was not being discussed within the original thread)"

has been done by me - a simple new "compose" and I pasted in the email address that i got in the initial email, after receiving the confirmation of the mailing list subscription.
I am not sure how did you, or the system process that message, but "hijacking" was not done on my side... if there is a "real" problem with the msg showing up as "hijacked", i might think about dumping yahoo mail, or there is an issue on the opposite side.

maybe I just subscribed to ffmpeg list, but I am a returning "ffmpeg user questions" mailing list subscriber - I was one between 2012-2014 before.

going back to what you mentioned about being precise about the cmdline, and errors... I could provide the information in a "proper" form, I will try this now:

=====================

I would apologize, if I would hijack the thread...

Thank you,
