Yes, you have to do something like:

    $ mencoder -dvd 1 -o /dev/null -oac copy -ovc copy \
        -vobsubout subtitles -vobsuboutindex 0 -sid 0

I think this should be added in the documentation...

Wow, *never* do that for mencoder unless you intend to produce empty files!

No, you have to do a pass for each subtitle.
