Description
I discovered that attempting to use mencoder to re-encode matroska files with ASS subtitle streams crashed mencoder due to the ASS library not being initialized in mencoder.c.
mencoder -ass -sid 0 "source-video.mkv" -v -ofps 15 -sws 9 -vf format=rgb24,scale=256:192:::3 -nosound -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vstrict=-2:mbd=2:trell:cbp:mv0:cmp=2:subcmp=2:precmp=2:vbitrate=256 -o mpgtmp.mpg -of rawvideo
It works fine if I leave out the "-ass" option, but it doesn't use the nice ASS library support that mplayer has. I tried to add support myself to mencoder, but I haven't learned enough about mplayer's/mencoder's core to set up the plugin/filter correctly like they are in mplayer. The crash stopped just by initializing ASS in mencoder.c, but it won't render anything without all the other filter setup. My attempts to clone how mplayer does it have failed to produce any results.

ass mencoder sub patch at bug 1401
* This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1401 *
The problem is, in mencoder pts are not passed into the filter chain. If turned on, something might break, I'm not sure what exactly, and I can't guarantee that there will be no regressions. If this problem is solved somehow, adding ASS support to mencoder would be easy.
One possible solution is to enable pts in mencoder with -ass option. This could result in unrelated filters/encoders changing behaviour based on -ass option, which is not a good thing and can be very confusing for users.
