[vlc] Re: Streaming with subtitle track

[James Burns]

Someone will probably give you a better answer soon, but if you want
to render the subtitles onto the stream you might want to do:

vlc --sout '#transcode{vcodec=copy,acodec=copy,soverlay}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=10.1.0.0}'
file.avi --sub-file=english.srt  --spu-channel=0

I'm not sure about the "copy" stuff and how that interacts w/ soverlay.
