There are several freeware and shareware apps that do this. A quick trip to versiontracker should give you a few ideas. I haven't really explored this much. I have only done this for part of a video. I think I used Jubler subtitle editor.

Sounds like it might be looking for MPlayerOSX. The description and it says rendering subtitles is supported. I think I already had it installed when I experimented with Jubbler.
