[MPlayer-users] Hardcoding subtitles with mencoder / mplayer

[Jos van Riswick]

I'm trying to hardcode subtitles into an mpeg movie. First, when I try to
just play with mplayer, everything is fine:


mplayer movie.3.mpeg -sub movie.subtitles.srt -subfont-text-scale 2.3


plays the movie, and shows subtitles in a small font. But:


mencoder movie.3.mpeg -sub movie.subtitles.ass -subfont-text-scale 2 -oac
copy -ovc copy -o movie.subtitles.mpeg


adds the subtitles, but without scaling. And this:


mencoder movie.3.mpeg -sub movie.subtitles.ass -subfont-text-scale 2 -oac
copy -ovc lavc -o movie.subtitles.mpeg


adds the subtitles with scaling, but also the subtitles with no scaling on
top of the scales ones. So I'm seeing two sets of subtitles
simultaneously....

What am I doing wrong? ? ?  I tried to change the font size in the .ass
file, but with no result....
