MythArchive doesn't have any subtitle support and adding it isn't a
trivial task if you take the many forms of subtitle that are available
into account. I believe there is a tool that can convert dvb type
subtitles to a form that dvdauthor can use when creating a DVD. It
really needs someone who wants this to workout how to do it and provide
a patch :-)
