Well, noone responded, but this site seems to have been down (no posts making it through) for several weeks.

I have ended up creating the subtitles from text in
- SUBTITLE WORKSHOP (freeware) and making initial timings there.
- AUGISUB (freeware) was used for finetuning timing using waveform editor.
- resulting subtitles saved in .SRT format

The DVD .VOB file and subtitle .SRT file can be muxed using DVDFLICK (freeware) or by using CONVERTX2DVD (shareware - costs about 40 Euros) which seems to do a better job.

This has been an interesting project.

I was wondering if any of you guys have had experience on creating / adding subtitles to a DVD?

We are currently taking a YWAM sourced Worldview teaching series (DVD) that is in English and adding Swedish subtitles for use in a seminar in a local church setting. (We have also transcribed the English to help both English hard of hearing and also to ease retranslation into other languages)

I have tried a few options in PC/Linux world and one of my staff has been working on it from his Mac.

Basically we are taking the .vob files and adding text subtitles and recreating a new dvd

So far nothing looks too easy to do this from either FOSS or commercial software.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
