ability to disable the nonsense expand filter is a must! otherwise it's impossible to render subtitles earlier in the filter chain and then scale them down with a scale filter; huge subs will get rendered again on top!! (think dvd/vobsub where you can't just use smaller font size) if anyone has a better way to handle this, do it! (e.g. make it so that the first expand filter disabled osd for the rest of the filter chain)
