Hello,

How to get rid of the white background of subtitles while ripping DVD?

I wanted to encode some DVD's as a xvid to HDD. The result was good,
except the subtitles are horrible. Every time there is subtitle, it
jumps on screen with a white background taking 1/4th of the screen.
How to get rid of that white background?

Mythtv uses transcode to create the xvid, and transcode has options
like extsub - color[12] and c[ab], and whatever. Are those relevant,
and can they be put as some userdefined preset value for mythtv
transcoding?

At least here in Finland it is normal to see subtitles just as a text
with no background colors. Just plain white characters on screen.

My MythTV version is about week old trunk, transcode is
1.0.2-0.8ubuntu3 and other utils are from up2date Feisty.
