Topic: Add ffmpeg parameters (subtitles/audio/pix_fmt) for transcoding

I'm not really sure on how to pass ffmpeg parameters, like changing the audio, hardcoding subtitles etc.

So for example, if I want to add the following ffmpeg options to my transcodings

-vf "ass=subtitles.ass" -c:a aac -pix_fmt yuv420p

How should I add them?

Thanks in advance.

p.s.

Attachment with my current setup.

SVPcode is a simple transcoder, which means it doesn't bother with audio/subs tracks/codecs, it just copies all of them from the source video.

@Chainik well I remembed in some previous version of SVP that for some files subtitles got hardcoded automatically, while now I have to manually hardcode it with ffmpeg

That was by mistake...
Dealing with audio/subs tracks is out of scope of SVPcode "by design".
There're a lot of universal media converters out there, we don't want to make another one. Instead we want to keep this one as simple as it possible.
