Just consider it as if you were trancoding a DVD file. So yes, you
sure can do that.

I don't think it's possible to do that with MEncoder (but I never
tried), but I'm sure it's something you can do with mkvmerge (to
create a matroska file). Note that you no not need to mux the sub
inside your video file. Just name it as your video file; For instance:

Amelie.avi and Amelie.srt

subdelay for mencoder is being worked on as we speak by Oded Shimon.
It should get into mainline... when it's ready. You sure may subscribe
to our development mailing list to benefit from it as soon as it's
released. It's probably need some testing, so if could help Oded by
reporting all the problems that you experienced, that sure would be
much appreciated.

Best regards,

Guillaume
