Man, I'm tired. I meant to type 'Decrypt', and actually just meant not to demux anything when you save the file to the hard drive.
You made that last post JUST as I was looking over mine... lol
But yeah, I got it pretty much that way:
I ripped it with DVD Decrypter in IFO mode, with stream processing enabled, but with the subs set to Direct Stream Copy.
After a bit more googling (like about 2 hours), I was made aware of SubRip, on Doom9's Downloads page (and I feel stupid for not thinking to look there myself), so I ran it, loaded the converted IFO, and ran the OCR sequence, exporting it to an .ssa file. It took a little bit of post-editing to "fix" some of the text (the only real problems I had were that it confused uppercase i's and lowercase L's, and couldn't figure out what a % was), but now I actually had something with plain text in it.
VobSub and TextSub still weren't doing it in VDubMod, so I went back to the AVISynth docs. I knew there was a Subtitle(), but it wasn't for adding multiple strings of text. Turns out I just needed to add vsfilter.dll to the plugins directory, and use TextSub(filename.ssa) - that did the trick. Now I can just convert the .avs with PSPVideo.
So basically, I got the answer the 4th time I R'd the FM.
And DVD Decrypter is pretty much the EXACT same program as SmartRipper, the only real difference I've notced (though I really haven't futzed with all the options of either porogram) is that SmartRipper defaults to IFO mode.
