Do "we" not have our own domain name? :-)  (People who use hobbyist 
email addresses (@hotmail, @gmail, @yahoo, etc.) are taken less 
seriously on this mailing list.)

We *do* support multiplexing video (including H.264) and audio into a 
MPEG-2 Transport Stream - using the 
"MPEG2TransportStreamFromESSource" class.  You might also be able to 
modify this class to support closed captions.

That's correct.  It's on the 'to do' list, but not currently supported.
