This will work. It's for a .TS file containing 1 video track, 1 subtitle 
teletext track with 4 subtitles and 2 sound tracks. We cut off some in 
the start and some in the ending.

ffmpeg -txt_format text -txt_page 599 -fix_sub_duration -ss 00:02:40 
-c:v h264_mmal -i 'Beck Øje for Øje (4).ts' -to 01:32:10 -map 0:0 -c:v 
h264_omx -b:v 4800k -map 0:2 -c:a copy -map 0:1 -c:s:0 mov_text 
-metadata:s:s language=dan 'Beck(4).mp4'
