unable to fire subtitle to a video via mencoder

[sylvain.maucourt@…]

with the port of mplayer i can't add subtitle to a video. (it's possible with the binary offer by ffmpegX).

the command line is: %mencoder movie.avi -sub sub.srt -oac copy -ovc lavc -o out.avi

Is mplayer able to display subtitles or is it a problem with just mencoder?

Did you install mplayer with +osd variant? This is the variant responsible for the display of fonts. (osd: Enable onscreen display and font support)

Could you try this again with 1.0rc2 and see if the problem still occurs? If so, please provide the (terminal) output from mencoder as well.
