Deja vu.  As a matter of fact, a thread whose subject ( Transcode loses
subtitles ) is almost exactly the same as the one you chose explains it
clearly.  This typically indicates that someone hasn't yet found the
searchable archives:  http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/ .

See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/251990#251990 and
the entire thread.  Especially, see the two posts to which I linked in
mine:  http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/231851#231851
and http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/231852#231852 .

/Definitely/ not.
