5000k -minrate 5000k -maxrate 5000k -bufsize 1835k -vcodec mpeg2video -
acodec copy -f vob -ilme 1 -y output.mpg -newsubtitle

For MPEG, only bitmap style, the one used in DVDs. And it is not yet
possible to create them, you just can copy from VOBs that already have them.

The developers are discussing how to add more subtitle formats:
