You need DVD authoring software that supports subtitles, and not all of them do (most of the consumer-friendly ones don't). Adobe Encore does, but is a bug-ridden piece of crap, and Ulead DVD Workshop does too, but has the shittiest, hold-your-hand-through-every-step, no-I'll-handle-this-part-you-can't-be-trusted-to-tinker-with-that, inflexible, looks-over-functionality user interface since the graphic industry's short-lived obsession with Kai Power Tools. And neither of these are especially good at actually doing the entering and timing of your subtitles, so you're better off typing and timing the subs in an external program (eg. Sub Station Alpha).

What you say! You're not being very clear about what you're trying to do. Do you mean you want to watch a DVD with added subtitles overlaid, or do you mean you're trying to author a DVD and add subtitle tracks to it? If it's the former, you need DVDSubber and a timed subtitle set for the movie you're trying to watch. If it's the latter, that's already covered in the above posts.

1. i have a dvd video
2. it has no subs and in japanese
3. i want to make sub and add it into the dvd
To make the subs, you need to use a subtitle creation/timing package such as Sub Station Alpha. If you want to just watch the DVD on your computer with the subtitles overlaid, you need DVDSubber. If you want to remake the DVD so it has the subtitles selectable and displayable on any DVD player, you need to rip the video, probably re-encode it to fit on a single-layer recordable DVD (trust me, double-layer recordables are not worth the effort, expense and lower compatibility), then add on the subtitles using one of the aforementioned authoring packages. But it does beg the question, if you're capable of making your own subtitles for a Japanese-only DVD, surely your grasp of Japanese is sufficient for you to watch it raw anyway?
