That's not so easy. Selectable DVD subs cannot be saved as an editable text file. DVD subs are basically a video stream. There are programs that can convert them to a text file but it works on a text recognition principle, similarly to converting a scanned page into an editable text file.
Sorry, I'm not sure if I get what you really mean or what you're referring to, erri_wan could easily get an editable SRT-file from the DVD by simply demux it.

As to the SRT only problem, there are free programs that convert between different subtitle formats, so it shouldn't be much of a problem to use whatever subs you have and then simply convert them.
Yes, almost every sub program have that function. You have that function in SubtitleCreator as well. My own subs was of course a SRT-file so no problem there, the reason was that I didn't want to begin from scratch again, when I was finally happy with my SUP-file, the subs I made in SubtitleCreator was superior in every way compared to what I was able to do in DVD Lab Pro, and I just wanted to get going with the Laserdiscs.
You can't just import a SRT-file to a sub program and convert it to SUP and mux it with a DVD and expect to get good results without any further work done to it before that stage. Subs are a real bitch to do right. With a little more patience, and perhaps different software I could have done it better.
Maybe someone further down the line will re-work it and make menus for it, if they think it is in need of it.
