Thanks,

According to the thread, i need to use an expand filter with osd=1 to enable
the subtitle.
I tried it with a prebuilt version, and it worked well. But for my own built
(mingw)
it said "-subfont-autoscale is not an MEncoder option". why is that?
.I guess i have miss something in my configure command but i'm not sure.
please help.
