non-latin characters for stand-alone media player subtitles

[sonam]

Hi,
I recently parchased a WD TV HD Live media player and want to store my DVDs into and play them off a hard disk.
So I'm using 'DVDdecrypter' to create a VOB file for each DVD. So far everything is fine. Now I attempt to play these VOBs with my WD TV and find out - the hard way- that in order to see the subtitles, I have to extract the embedded in the VOBs subtitles into separate files (*.srt etc). So I search the net and stumble into the excellent program 'DVDsubedit' which does the job, only in my case there is a problem: DVDSubedit's OCR does not recognise my Greek subtitles and produces an srt file with strange and unrecognizable characters.
So please tell me, is there a way, a method, a program, whetever... to create a sensible 'srt' file containg non-latin characters properly coded? Or any other way to create a proper file of any type that could be used by the WD HD to properly display non-latin subtitles? Or even a way to permanently merge the movie file itself and the subtitles (as a graphical entity - not as text)) into a single movie file?
Thank you in advance

Rip to dvd iso files instead. Use dvddecrypter or dvdshrink to just strip out the main movie.

Could you please be more specific as to what settings to use?
Obviously I must have done something wrong, because I have tried both, dvddecrypter and dvdshrink ripping only the
main movie - as a single VOB file containing only one audio stream and one 'subpicture' - but with no sucess: The player plays
the movie ok but doesn't recognize nor display the subs .
Please, elaborate on the settings you suggest as I don't have much experience.
Thanks again

No, as a single iso file. No vob file. Select Backup and choose Create ISO Image file in DVD SHrink.
