Subtitles on AVI advice - long shot

OK so this is a long shot...but it's ten to midnight and I've spent all evening trying to help out my son.

As part of his finals he's had to translate 30 minutes of a highbrow french film and put English subtitles on it.

To do this we ripped the start of the DVD into an AVI file when he came home a few weeks ago, then he downloaded some freeware called 'Subtitle Workshop' and put all the subtitles onto the AVI. Worked a treat.

The problem is that the software keeps the AVI as an original file and overlays the subtiltes using it's own file format, then merges them together in real time. Try as we might we can't get the thing to write the finished product back to AVI or any other format. Ultimately it needs to end up as a subtitled DVD

Have any of you people who muck about with video on computers got any ideas or any experience with any other software that does subtitles?
