So here's the question. What program, or programs, can I use to get softsubs? If I can rip the subtitles to .srt or .ass then I know how to integrate them into the video, if the video is in MKV or OGM format. I'd imagine there's an all-in-one out there, somehere. Mac OS software is preferred, but I have Windows and Linux on here as well, and can make use of software for either of those. Thanks!

P.S. To the moderators: I know that DVD ripping is occasionally a touchy subject. While I consider this request to follow "fair use" if it makes you uncomfortable, there will be no hard feelings if you want to delete it.

I'm a little confused by what you're trying to do. Are you trying to rip the subs from the vob files on the DVD or are you trying to rip subs from a hardsubbed file? Or something else? If it's one of the first two try subrip (open source) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubRip maybe? I've used it to fix hardsubbed files (I'm red/green colourblind, I usually edit a d/l subs I have that have green subtitles using this). It outputs to srt by default
