Notepad?
Some players allow you to time shift the audio by x milliseconds.
Subtitles are a pain, aren't they? I just found out today that they are image files and not plain text! So you end up in OCR territory.
Does your source not have the subtitles? Tsk. Tsk.
I've actually got the subs from the source DVD
I was actually trying to save some effort on my part, I wanted to put the Battlestar Galactica series that I have on DVD onto my NAS so I can then stream to the PS3. Rather then encode all the series I thought I'd just "get" the episodes, extract the subtitles from my DVDs and hey presto but with hind sight it might be just easier to process each DVD in turn. Started off as a good idea though
I used this http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Subrip to rip the subs.
The foreign subs are as far as I know effectively burned ie they are not part of the pic normally but always switched on and can also be ripped out if required.

Because I wanted to convert to Xvid/Divx then add the subtitles effectively as a stream so that I can turn them on/off when playing the movie on the PS3. Also uncompressed would take up a lot of disk space, each series of Battlestar is around 6 DVDs worth, then there's the initial mini and razor films.
