How to add new subtitles to an existing video DVD?

[Newsense]

I have on my hard disk a foreign language DVD movie (a VIDEO_TS folder) that I would like to burn to a DVD-RW and watch on a standalone DVD player (Sony DVP-NS33).

The problem is the movie only contains subtitles in languages I do not understand.

Is it possible to somehow add subtitles in an additional language before I burn the film to a DVD disc?

I already have the new subtitles as a separate .srt text file.

Thanks for the tip!

Problem is, I'm using Linux.

The method you suggested requires software that is available only on Microsoft Windows (SubtitleCreator) .

Did you bother to look under Linux Tools or Subtitle Tools in a Tools section ?

Subtitle Editor looks like it will do the job

Thanks! I have now created a new subtitle file in the SubRip format. What do I do next? Should I use some kind of DVD authoring software to replace the subtitles in the VIDEO_TS folder?

Problem is I'm new to this DVD-authoring stuff and don't quite know what features I should be looking for...
