--sub-source=<string> Subpictures source module This adds so-called
"subpicture sources". These filters overlay some images or text over the
video (like a logo, arbitrary text, ...).
--sub-filter=<string> Subpictures filter module This adds so-called
"subpicture filters". These filter subpictures created by subtitles
decoders or other subpictures sources.
