I have taken a look at sub2po. I understand that it translates .srt or
.sub files only.
I read it from here:
http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/formats/subtitles.html

The following formats are supported for subtitles:
MicroDVD
MPL2
MPsub
SubRip (.srt)
SubViewer 2.0 (.sub)
TMPlayer
Sub Station Alpha
Advanced Sub Station Alpha
BTW, is there a player that you suggest for adding the subtitles?

Thanks, I was quite worried about having to automate the part of
creating the subtitles..  What about Pierre's suggestion of
mkvtoolnix?
