VLC could do it, but it's sortof difficult. Using the commandline
something like this should work:

--- on one line ---
vlc yourfile.dvb :sout=file/ts://outfile.dvb --program 8196 --sout-all
vlc:quit
--- end of line ---

just replace 8196 with the program you are interrested in, usually found
in the navigation menu of vlc while playing the file.

vlc can convert dvd subtitles to dvb subtitles. Going the other way may
be a bit difficult for a few reasons:
* dvb subtitles can have more colors than dvd subtitles. This is however
not necessarily the case.
* dvd subtitles stor the bitmaps in the mpeg stream (the .vob file), and
stores the palette info separatly in the .ifo files (or something
similar).
