Turns out on the transcoded show the subtitles show up on screen just
fine which is what I wanted (on the original file nothing shows up).
I added SRT file generation to the makempeg2 script (search the
archives for it). Now have captions working after the transcode to a
lower resolution. Life is good. :)
if [ "${1}" == "mythjob" ] ; then
export filename="${2}/${3}"
cd ${2}
export mythjob=1
else
export mythjob=0
export filename=${1}
fi
# Generate SRT file
/usr/local/bin/ccextractor "${filename}"
