[Libav-user] This command take 2 minutes to render. Can it be quicker?

That isn't surprising. That is why (and entirely my fault for not making it
clearer) I suggested copying the audio stream as well as copying the the
video stream (by using -c:v copy) as it already is in an MP4 compatible
format. I've never messed around with subtitles, part of the reason I was
asking for a sample mp3, mp4, and srt. What is the purpose of the -2 and
-strict options? Try removing those and see if you have any better luck. If
those don't work and are still unwilling to provide a sample, start with
omitting the subtitle portions to make sure that the streams are being
copied correctly, and build up from there.
