You can try autogk. It's a freeware program. I used it before to encode my dvds to divx but with the availability of relatively cheap terabyte hdds I just didn't bother anymore. Now I just copy the dvd into an iso image.

My advice is to simply look for the matching subtitles in srt format and download it.  Then synchronize using Subtitle Workshop: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Other-VIDEO-Tools/Subtitle-Workshop.shtml

If you can't find the subtitles on the internet, you have to make your own srt file from the DVD source.  Use Subrip: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/subrip.htm

i use subrip para pwede ko i-on or off ang subtitles .... lalo sa mga stephen chow movies lol

I use and highly recommend to everyone else yung Handbrake conversion program ... its quite easy to use. lalo if you have a good background na sa conversion .... pwede din ito mag "hard-Burn" ng subtitle sa movie file :) so you don't need separate files for it .... it is MKV capable also ;D

madami pa akong icoconvert kaso tinamad nako ..... :( few months ago I was aggressively converting all my pirated dvds to AVI format, then selling the successfully converted disc for ultra cheap

I've tried hard subs, but there are 2 disadvantages:

1.  Conversion with hard subs is too slow;
2.  Hard subs are blurred; not as sharp as player-generated subs.
