How to add subtitles to a DVD Video?

I have DVD Video files on my HDD. This movie has no subtitles. I want to add subtitles as on option like in normal DVDs.
Is it possible?
I think I shoul convert my txt file to VOBsub or smth.

Any ideas?

Re: How to add subtitles to a DVD Video?

I'm trying to mux subs with the video, but smth goes wrong.

mplayer dvd:// -dumpstream -dvd-device /home/pliki/DVD/ -dumpfile DVD_all.vob

spumux.xml is:
<subpictures>
   <stream>
            <textsub filename="microdvd.txt" characterset="WINDOWS-1250"
            fontsize="28.0" font="subfont.ttf" horizontal-alignment="center"
            vertical-alignment="bottom" left-margin="60" right-margin="60"
            top-margin="20" bottom-margin="30" subtitle-fps="25"
            movie-fps="25" movie-width="720" movie-height="574"
            />
  </stream>
</subpictures>

spumux spumux.xml < DVD_all.vob > 1.mpg
