http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/How%20to%20burn%20subtitles%20into%20the%20video <- this is the first link I came across googling topic's title.
But method in the link didn't work for me (I had tried it before), I think some sort of configuration needs to be done but I didn't bother since Mencoder works perfectly fine for me.Last edited by ozok; 13th Jan 2014 at 19:11. Reason: typo

I think this one can help https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/FFMPEG_An_Intermediate_Guide/subtitle_options - as overall - it was not so clear to me what are the intention of the topic author and thus as an informative remark - there are other ways to add subtitles than hard-coding (with necessary in this case video re-encoding) - i mean i didn't criticized You - poisondeathray but just mention other solution - perhaps more convenient for topic author.

That is so confusing to use . But thank you for your input -
Little late with this thread but after trying to add subtitles with FFMpeg and failing, old methods of entry and new methods of entry, I discovered that if you use the standby version from 2013-01-10. the old method works fine ... and easier:
ffmpeg -i "C:\PAth\Video.mp4" -vf "ass=../../../../../../../../Users/Bud/Desktop/xxUntitled.ass" ouput2.mp4
The ../../ are old 'Go back a directory level' entries and makes sure the working directory backs up to the c:\ directory without actually listing it. Notice the slashes are not normal directory slashes and need to be replaced.
Just thought I'd mention in case someone stumbles on this thread.
CORRECTION:
You don't need the ../../ method if you escape each special charsacter.
ffmpeg -i "C:\PAth\Video.mp4" -vf "ass='C\:\\users\\bud\\desktop\\xxUntitled.ass'" "c:\path\ouput2.mp4"
Notice there are double quotes around the entire filter (.ass to .ass) and single quotes around the subtitle string.Last edited by Budman1; 5th Oct 2014 at 15:16. Reason: Correction to workaround
