[MPlayer-users] Mplayer/Mencoder encoding subtitles issues

[Tariq Yahiaoui]

Thanks for your ongoing work on Mencoder/Mplayer binaries.

There is however a bug that I would like to report:
I am currently using the latest FFmpegX video encoder on mac os X to 
generate DivX movies with burned in subtitles, and the latest 
Mplayer/Mencoder binaries NO LONGER allow changing the default font type, 
size, or position in relation to the movie they are supposed to be included 
in with the burn srt option in FFmpegx.
The preview option in FFmpegx shows the right font type, size and position 
in relation to the movie but when the movie gets encoded with the subtitles 
burnt in, the outcome is different and the font is always the same one 
whatever type, size, or location you choose.
I think, this bug is featuring in the mencoder/mplayer builts that followed 
the 23 Jan 2005 one. So it was working fine before.

Many of us FFmpegX users have raised the issue in different forums and we 
hope that this problem will be sorted out in the next release of the 
binaries (as we are suffering from it for almost two years now).

Best regards

Tariq
