FFmpeg considers subtitles and video to be completely different nature;
images are considered short video. You cannot encode subtitles with
codecs meant for video.

You can force ffmpeg to convert bitmap subtitles to images by connecting
the subtitles to a complex filter graph. So this may work, maybe with a
little work:

ffmpeg -i myvideo.trp -lavfi '[0:5]null[out]' -map '[out]' ...
