It's been some time that I have been making new versions of my own DVDs. Particularly for re-positioning subtitles and change several things in them: lines length, font size, etc.
Some times it's very straightforward, other times it's not. Lately I have been adding English subs too, which I need to download from different places.
Until now I was using the audio track as a reference to check sync, using Sound Forge, but I was now trying to do it properly.
The sub program I use is Subtitle Workshop, which is probably the best. But it doesn't accept any file type. AFAIK only avi and mkv work with it.
So I was trying to convert my DVD files to an avi size and type I can manage, with no good luck. I tried with TMPGEnc 4.0 and Procoder 2, with and without Divx, and I get a file with no audio. I wonder what I am doing wrong.
When I play the file in the program audio seems to be fine. But the resultant avi file it's not.
Is there any other way to do this conversion in a simple way?
BTW: image quality is not so important, because the screen size I will use is very small, just for working on the subs.

Use autogk and convert to avi xvid with mp3 audio.
But doesn't subtitle workshop with mpg files? If so use vob2mpg. -
My suggestion would be to convert your dvds to avi (divx) by ripping to iso and then import it to fairusewizard setting to output to divx, also making sure to check the box that says to extract the subtitles. This would make an average dvd a 700mb avi file and the subtitles would also extracted.

if you already converted the video, just add in the audio separately with avimux-gui , vdub or avidemux
no time wasted re-encoding the whole thing -
Dgindex will extract the audio for you and it will create a D2V file that you can open in Virtualdub with an avisynth script (file.avs) to create your DivX AVI. The audio file will have the Delay (if any) in the filename so you'll know what to put in "Audio Interleave" in Virtualdub.
Dgindex is part dgmpgdec157. You'll also need avisynth (preferably with nicaudio).

Here is a sample avisynth script...
LoadPlugin("C:\unzipped\dgmpgdec157\DGDecode.dll")
video=MPEG2Source("D:\Music\Videos\DVDs\VTS_01.d2v ")
audio=nicAC3Source("D:\Music\Videos\DVDs\VTS_01 T81 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3")
