Marquee strings do not handle comma or apostrophe

I am attempting to put a string at the bottom of a video. I find that some characters cause it to fail.

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --sub-source=marq{marquee="Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. We're so glad you could attend: come inside, come inside",position=8} SomeMovie.mp4
The comma in "come inside, come inside" terminates the string regardless of the presence of quotation marks.
The apostrophe in "We're" seems to invalidate the 'position' keyword.

I attempted putting dollar signs in front of the offending characters to no avail.
