mpeg2 is a standard delivery format for several television stations we deliver paid programs to. It is presently a pain to get those particular files encoded with captions and I am going to look at other NLE options if Adobe doesn't get on the ball and add this soon...

It's really ridiculous that still after years we cannot do this.i have to pay for expensive software to do this in house. Yes there are thousands of stations still using mpeg servers! More than any other stupid and pointless added feature this needs to be implemented!

Please please please make this happen. I need to deliver to 24 stations every week, all a combination of h.264, mpeg2, and mxf. Right now I'm having to run everything through maccaption. I'd love to be able to do this in one continuous workflow!

Closed Captioning getting put directly into the output is the entire reason I got Creative Cloud a few weeks ago, switching from FCP. Only to find it doesn't do it for MPEG2, which is 9 out of 10 of my digital deliveries. That's a painful discovery I wish I'd made earlier.

Add this feature (pretty) please! I'm frustrated by having to export sidecar files, and marrying them in third party software!

Yes, please add the ability to embed captions to MPEG2.

This would save my team and I hours of "double exporting" and having to use other encoders and/or services. We would only have to export once via Media Encoder!

Agreed. No use in doing extra work everyday. This should be implemented ASAP.

Sony Vegas is only way I've found to do it, but it would be easier if these local TV stations would just grow up and take MXF files! They're better anyway
