Making subtitles work with Transcode 360

Transcode 360 appears to have the ability to display subtitles. These are enabled through the t360 configuration utility. But, as far as I know, it has never worked. One of the visitors to this blog took the matter into his own hands and fixed the transcode360 executable and now subtitles work. Here is what he says:
Hi,Me again, I was a bit busy doing other things, but I finally managed to get
subtitles and the right audiostream while transcoding.I've put a replacement
Transcode360.exe on

Assembling a tray app and setup, with all forms etc. is too much work for me at
the moment. Just stop the Transcode360 service, replace the .exe and start the
service again.I'm currently using the modified t360 with mencoder svn rev 28311
and ffmpeg svn rev 16596, both downloaded from http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php
The discussion took place on this thread's comment section:

If you have transcode360 setup and working, just stop the service (this can be done through the config utility) and replace the transcode360.exe with his copy. Re-start the service. Also remember to enable subtitles in the config utility.

Any requests?

I am wondering if anybody has any computer issues I might be able to help with? I am open to requests. Email me if you have an question and think having a solution might help yourself and others. I've been doing Windows based IT support for about 10 years. These days my work revolves around Active Directory, scripting (wsh, vbscript, wmi, adsi), Group Policy, WSUS, imaging (Ghost), some VB.NET, and then about anything Windows related. Lately I have not had much to write about...
