__I'm running MCEBuddy 2.3.15 Beta.__
_I've tried all the logical settings (see attached for current settings for profile) and the closed captions just are not present in the new mp4 file._
I've tried with a variety of video files--closed captions never appear. Closed caption is not in the file details and it doesn't show up in the various video viewers (Media Center, etc.)--original WTV file had in file details and Media Center.
On the other hand, if I use the Extract closed captions under Subtitles on Conversion Task, the SRT file apparently grabs all the dialog and time stamps it just fine.
I'm using a new HP box, preloaded with Windows 8 (upgraded to Windows 8.1 with Media Center), HP - Pavilion Slimline S5-1554 Desktop - 6GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive.
__I suspect I've got some file stuck? Or some not obvious conflict in my settings?__
FYI, the beta solved my problem with the service not being available and so far does an excellent job removing commercials on every file except one with Comskip.

MCEBuddy (or any software I know of) cannot write closed captions. That's it is called extract closed captions (and if you hover over it will explain the same) and then embed subtitles. So yes if you want the srt file embedded into the converted file then select this option (only mkv, mp4 and m4v support this). Remember not all players support embedded srt tracks (eg my Samsung tv will not play back files with embedded tracks). By default it just creates a srt file which can be used by some players and tv to display the subtitles.
I will see if can update the pop up help for extract subtitles
