extract the subs with mkvextractgui or virtualdubmod(under stream->stream list)

if it is srt subs you can author a dvd with switchable subs using dvdauthorgui, add the m2v,wav and srt and author,burn. done.

if it is sub/ifo subs you can use subtosup and author with ifoedit, add the m2v, wav and sup and author,burn. done.

the files are srt now the only other thing is it has s_text/ssa and s_text/utf8 do i use both of them or which do i use
i tried to use both subtitles with virtual dub and i get a error that says some errors were found read the report but when i goto read the report the program crashes on me

ssa should look the nicest but you would have to hard encode them. If you want switchable subs, go with the plain srt.
