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.)
