I purchased a region 2 dvd that doesn't have the subs for my language! How can i add to this dvd the subs of my language? I know this can be done on windows

Did I understand correctly, the DVD you have does not have or list the subs in your language on the menus, or on the DVD package?
(If that would be the case ool)

no the subs are not included in the dvd video not the package!

Then you would need to get those subtitle files extracted from another DVD of the same movie that would have them included...
Or translate and make the subtitles all by yourself if that movie hasn't been translated yet at all.

If you merely want to be able to watch the movie with the subs on the computer, you can use VLC. In what format are the subs that you've found? I'd rip the movie from the DVD using handbrake - http://handbrake.m0k.org - and then use VLC to play the ripped movie and the subtitles together.

MacTheRipper can rip files off the DVD, but I don't know how you would go about adding subtitles? A quick search reveals methods for Windows, but not mac.

If you want to add subtitles manually, you could rip via handbrake, and add via Quicktime Pro/iMovie/FCP, then re-burn.

I think it could work to watch the movie with VLC and tell it to use the subtitle file location.
Otherwise, Handbrake it and add the sub and then VLC it.
