Here's the relevant code I'm using.  You can follow by mencoder's 
argument options what everything is, but essentially it expects that the 
images are collected in stillsdir, sub-titles are in srtfn, sub-title 
font in fontfn and then it creates the movie tmpfile, and if successful, 
renames it avifile.

HTH,
