Did you try his command?

The input file he linked to is 352x288, and contains "soft" subtitles
but not hard subtitles.

The command he gave uses '-vf scale' to resize it to 512x512.

When I run his command with that input file, then play the encoded
'test.avi' file, the encoded video has hard subtitles.

It seems to do exactly what you're asking for. (Comparing against the
command lines you gave in the original post, the only potentially
important difference I see is that he put the '-vf scale' option before
the output filename, but you put it after the output filename.)

what's the problem with it?
