Subtitles Font Size Trouble

[gdm1134]

Does somebody know why in ffmpegX 0.0.9y Filters panel font size always renders as smallest, 1 or 0, regardless of size actually chosen?

I'm trying to write hard subtitles to avi files. Program works great, other than its/my inability to get subtitles in larger sizes.
They do show in large sizes when previewing movie, but not in end result.

I'm using a PowerMac Dual G5 w/ OS X Leopard 10.5.6.

Thanks for advice/explanation.

You need to substitute in the .9s mencoder in place of the .9w mencoder. That will permit you to alter the subtitle font size. (You'll get an error when you launch the app with the "wrong" mencoder but just ignore it; it will work.)

Thanks for your reply.

Do you mean mencoder's version .9s instead of version .9w (in ffmpegbinaries package), or ffmpegx's versions?
As I mentioned, I thought I was using ffmpeg 0.0.9y, but the About... window says: 0.0.9x (0.0.9y). So I don't know which it is.
In the ffmpegbinaries package I'm using (latest), Info for mencoder does not show itsversion either. How do I see its version?

You do give me a link for mencoder, and it takes me to a download page for MPlayer/Mencoder, but I only see Mplayer downloads possible. Recent ones. And link for Old versions, again, does not give me any mencoder downloads.
I searched for mencoder downloads w/out success.
Could you please give me link to download mencoder .9s?

Many thanks.

Oops, I'm still using 9w. I'll PM you.
