i extract the subs with tcextract from transcode:
tcextract -i stream.dump -x ps1 -a 0x20  | subtitle2pgm  -g 5 -t 1
-o subs_folder/subs
probebly you can pipe your vobsub file directly to subtitle2pgm, which
creates a lot if files subs0000x.png in the subdir
subtitle2pgm from: subtitleripper.sf.net
(you can also extract from the dvd man tcextract)
then remux in the mpeg file with spumux from dvdauthor
(dvdauthor.sf.net):
spumux subs_folder/subs.xml < file_dvd.mpg >
file_dvd_subbed.mpg

maybe you can directly remux, try
