Hi, I am very new to harsubbing. I am using FFmpegx to hardsub onto avi. I use MPEG4 Mencoder and when I use the most current mencoder and mplayer I can see the correct Font Size 5, pos 100 in the Filter's preview but when I encode the file the subtitles are tiny. I have tried using the mencoder and mplayer released in 2005 but when I try to use the Filter's preview then no video appears, just sound. Even when I encode using 2005 binary there is just sound, no video or subtitle. I have tried a different combination of old mencoder with new mplayer and vise versa but nothing has worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am on a Mac OSX, 10.5.8.
