The resolution of the dvb subtitles is (approximately) 720x576, the video resolution is 1280x720. If you neither scale the subtitles nor the video, the subtitles will not correctly fill the screen.

Damn !!! i have totally missed that point. Thank you very much for your help :)
I tried -canvas_size 1280x720 and now the subtitle position is fine.

Still this weird DVDSUB blurring issue though.

EDIT: Apply an aspect ratio correction of 960x720 to the canvas given the correct DVDSUB size. I'm too forgetful ;)

I don't know if there is a reason why dvdsub subtitles look very ugly while dvbsub subtitles look nice, even after re-encoding (to dvbsub).

[Samuel]

Could that be related to the color/alpha palette conversion ?
Or CLUT ?

[Samuel]

I don't think that it is related to the blurry issue, but when inspecting, comparing the DVBSUB and DVDSUB i saw a frame size difference.
For example in the original DVBSUB, the first frame have a size of 434x46
But in the DVDSUB, it have a size of 439x41

All the others subtitle frames have around the same few pixels difference.
