Thanks for the tip. I have looked at it and done some surfing.
There are existing scripts like:

  http://www.guru-group.fi/~too/sw/m2vmp2cut/pxsup2dast.py

which can create an xml file for dvdauthor from a .sup file (subtitles
stream file) created by ProjectX. So it seems straightforward to build this
into MythBurn.
I have read from other sources that there might be problems with the colors
of the subtitles, but that can be handled by editing the associated .ifo
file.

Best regards
