Thoggen[1] does a pretty nice job of ripping to Ogg/Theora/Vorbis.  It
doesn't support subtitles AFAIK.  There's supposed to be some
work-in-progress in supporting the Dirac video codec which is a new
high-quality video codec being developed.

You'll need relatively recent versions of gstreamer and plugins
installed to use thoggen.
