Video-text Overlay

[Kreez]

Hey Folks

Are there any command line utilities that would add text to a video clip of MP4 or 3GP formats also capable of positioning the text at the desired region on the video clip [or adding it to the start or the ending on the video].

Thanks in Advance.

Kreez.

You should be able to do that with the srt support in mencoder, and definitely with the ssa/ass support. You can also pass an avisynth script through mencoder, avisynth has built-in subtitle() and supports VSFilter(), a more complete implementation of srt/ssa/ass than mencoder's.

I don't think there are ways to specify text on the command-line of mencoder or ffmpeg, let alone with positioning, though.
