It that is all it does, I'd recommend avidemux. It even
has a GUI which allow you to do simple video editing
tasks like cutting out the commercials from a recorded
broadcast. It also appears to have a built-in tool for
adding and converting subtitles.

The only problem I've had with the program is
maintaining audio-to-video synchronization when I
attempt to create an mpeg out of an avi with an
"nonstandard" frame rate of, say, 15 fps.
