If you *have* the titles then it's just making sure they are the right format. If you have say an AVI with .idx (timing data) and .sub file (rendered subtitles) then in say VLC it's just choosing the files as subtitle. If you *don't * have the titles or they are not in rendered format then I wouldn't know a tool for GNU/Linux that can render them.

I'm sure it's something trivial. Could you post a download location for the files?

greek subtitles

I managed to preview greek subtitles (.srt files) by using the vlc player (www.videolan.org). Follow the steps below:
1.Go: Settings --> Preferences
2.Go: Video --> Subtitles/OSD
3.In the <Use subtitle file> field browse your subtitle file.
4.Go: Video --> Subtitles/OSD--> Text renderer
5.In the <font> field click <browse...> and choose a font file (ending with .ttf). The font files are usually in this directory: /usr/share/fonts/
6.Go: Input/Codecs --> Other codecs --> Subtitles
7.In the <subtitles text encoding> field choose the ISO-8859-7 option

For Arabic subtitles I think that you have to follow the same steps but in the 7th step choose the ISO-8859-6 option.
