I want to burn a subtitle file with .srt format in Persian (-utf8) into a video file with .mp4 format using mencoder. I'm using ubuntu 14.04. This command works for the simple task of burning subtitle on video file:

sudo mencoder input.mp4 -sub subtitle.srt -utf8 -o output.mp4 -oac pcm -ovc lavc

Now I want to change the color and font size of subtitle, and also add background for the subtitle. I've seen some commands here, like -ass-color <value> , -sub-bg-color but They don't work together. -sub-bg-color works when I import the .srt file, and -ass-color works with .ass format. Also I don't want to convert .srt files to .ass. Does anyone know how can I complete this line of command to do these changes I mentioned above?

Any equal command in ffmpeg is also wellcomed. I'm using mencoder just to avoid messing up with ffmpeg compiling process.

I know the question is too old. anyway it will help somebody. if you have .srt file you can simple style the subtitle with ASS style format.

I have an example for you.

This text is styled <font color="#ffff00" size=14>very well</font>

  • Where is the documentation that identifies all the parameters available inside the `` tag? What parameters are available? – Jim Aug 24 '22 at 19:02
