Hi, 

from the manpage:


 -sub-bg-alpha <0-255>
        Specify  the  alpha  channel  value  for subtitles and OSD back-
        grounds.  Big values mean more transparency.  The 0 value is  an
        exception and means completly transparent
 -sub-bg-color <0-255>
        Specify the color value for subtitles and OSD backgrounds.  Cur-
        rently subtitles are grayscale so this value is  equivalente  to
        the  intensity  of  the  color.  The 255 value means white and 0
        black.
