After you've used Muxman to remux the video with the new subtitles (test it to make sure you really have subs), open the original subless DVD with menus in VobBlanker. Highlight the main video so it appears in the lower window. Highlight it in the lower window and hit "Replace" to the right. Scroll to the VTS_01_0.IFO of the remuxed DVD, the one with subs but no menu. Give it an "Output Folder" and "Process".
When all done you should have the original DVD with menus and subs. But, if there were no subs before and you added subs for the first time, you still have to "turn on" the subs. Follow the directions in this post:
https://forum.videohelp.com/topic338721.html#1778185
After that you'll be able to use the remote control to turn on the subs. Or, by adding a command to PGCEdit you can make the subs play by default.

First of all, thanks for your instructions.
Now, am I supposed to substitute the ifos from the film processed by VobBlanker by the ones in Pgc-backup or are they the same? Besides, the ifo that should contain the menu only has 20kb, while the one from the subless film that had the menu has 1Mb. Is that ok? -

You are right it isn't the ifo that has 1Mb, my mistake. It is the VTS_01_0.vob from the subless film that has that size and it contains the menu, while the one from the final version has 20kb. So my conclusion is that the VTS_01_0.vob from the final version does not include the menu, since this menu has about 1Mb. Besides, the menu does not show up in the DVD player. Just so that you know, this is a menu made in AVS Video Converter and it doesn't have a "Subtitles" section. Only "Play" and "Scene Selection". Can that be it?
Again, thank you for your patience. -

Until now I did use to make DVD's with no menu. But recently I realised they didn't worked on some DVD players. So I've made a DVD with a menu (but no subtitles) and it worked everywhere. However, I need subtitles.
But I think there's another option. I have a few DVD's (not bought, neither made by me), that don's have a menu, only subtitles and chapters, just like the ones I used to make and they work everywhere too. I don's understand why, though, because they have exactly the same files has the ones I used to make: VIDEO_TS.ifo and .bup, VTS_01_0.ifo and .bup and the .vobs. No VIDEO_TS.vob or VTS_01_0.vob, allthough I thought these files where needed for the film to work in every players. But so it seems they are not needed. Just by any chance, have you got any ideia how they make these DVD's? Because they seem to be edited the same way my old ones were, despite the fact that these work everywhere and mine don't. -
I just want to make DVD's that can be read everywhere. I thought that for that it was necessary to make a menu. Because mine without menu only work in some DVD players.

You don't need a VIDEO_TS.VOB. You don't need a VTS_01_0.VOB. You don't need a menu. Such things as chapters and subtitles can be accessed with just a remote control. I don't know why some of yours don't work and other peoples' ones do. I don't know how you make your DVDs. You mentioned something called AVS Video Converter about which I know nothing. You might give some of the other well thought of all-in-one DVD creation programs a try - programs such as FAVC or DVD Flick.

Please excuse my ignorance on this matter Baldrick, I have downloaded an .Avi file that already has russian subtitles on it. I want to strip those subtitles off of it, and add the english subs, and I have searched forum after forum, and I can't find the answer. What program(s) do I need to acomplish this the most painless way.

How do I create multi-line (say 2) subtitles? When I set the number of lines to 2, the first line of text I type in goes to the bottom of the subtitle box. Obviously, the 2nd line of text I type in goes outside (and below) the box.
EDIT: Ok, I got the above. I just set the vertical alignment to "Top".
Now, I'm stuck at MuxMan. I got the free version, but it seems like a demo. Has MuxMan gone commercial? -

You can preview them by simply opening them. However, since I don't create subs using SubtitleCreator, and since I don't check synch when using it, I don't know and perhaps someone else can help. Sorry.

Ok...
Problem here, I tried following this list of things to do.
After muxman, if i play it in MPC it shows it correctly (though funky colors).
But then when i play it back in hardware there is no subtitles...
If i open it in PGC Editor, it shows one subtitle present... yet still doesn't show up?
Any ideas?
In MPC i need to 'enable' subtitles (under navigate) could that be the problem? -
I've managed to add some english subs to a dvd that already had subs in 4 other languages, using baldick's simple method.
Then i wanted to make the english subs come on by default and i followed this guide:
http://download.videohelp.com/r0lZ/pgcedit/third_party/2cool/subtitles/subtitles_on_de...gcedit.htm#Top
The problem is that after adding the precommand '(SetSTN) Set sub-picture stream =4,=on', whichever language i choose from the dvd root menu, i always get english. The only way to get a different language is to use the SAP remote or Play>Captions and Subtitles in WMP.
Is there any way i can restore the root menu, to pick the selected language (unless, say, the 'no subtitles' option is chosen)? -
It looks from the guide that you added the STN command at the beginning of the movie, so anything else you choose from the subtitle menu will be overridden when the movie starts.
Go back and delete the STN command and instead set it in the precommands of the main menu. That way, if you choose a different language in the subtitle menu, it'll stick this time. Even that might be problematic if, after choosing a different language, you go back to the main menu before then having the movie play. You could set it at the very beginning, in a First-Play PGC Precommand, but then you should do a careful trace to make sure another preexisting command having to do with subtitles doesn't negate that.
Another way is to set the subs you want on the way to the main menu. That way you can still use the subtitle menu later on. You'd delete the STN command and set the default subtitle language using a different method entirely.
This method allows you to jump to any menu or title on insertion of your DVD, setting the audio and subtitle streams of your choice and by-passing anything in your way (e.g. annoying FBI warnings, studio promos and Dolby Digital trailers) and having all the DVDs internal registers set exactly as they would be if the commands followed the original path. -
Thanks manono. I could not get it to work by setting the STN command in the main window.
However, I did manage to follow the guide in the link you posted. In the Firstplay PGC i added
(JumpSS) Jump to VTSM 1, Root menu (TTN 1)
so the DVD now starts at the main menu, which is good as it's what i wanted it to do anyway. But if i press Play, the movie plays using the first subtitle in the list on the subtitles page. What i want it to do is play using the added english subs.
I think the answer lies in the instruction:
"If you need to set your audio and subtitle preferences after your breakpoint is reached, simply trace through to them and back to your breakpoint."
But i really have no idea whatsoever what this means or how to do it.
