Subs in this file are not compressed. Their header (CodecPrivate) is broken, 
it lacks "[Events]" and subsequent "Format: ..." lines.
What program do you use for remuxing ? mkvmerge only allows compression of 
vobsub subtitles. And it does not add missing lines.

Something like -vf ass=font-scale=1.5:another-option=value:sub=1.ass ? Not 
very readable :( There is no such thing as per-filter global options ?
