The transcoding app does not support preserving subtitles/captions. See
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/231851#231851 and the
rest of the thread for a discussion of why/the problems with trying to
allow it.
So, you'll need to find a different app to create your DVD's. (Sorry,
but I can't recommend any.) Or, at the very least, will need to do some
manual work to preserve the subtitles and/or convert captions to DVD
subtitles.
(OK, I'll admit that it may be possible to use other apps--like
ProjectX--with MythArchive, but I don't think MythArchive supports
keeping the subtitles even if ProjectX does.)
