Have you checked to make sure subtitles were set to off on your iPod?

Settings -> Subtitles Off
also might try
Settings -> Captions Off

If you watch them on your PC with VLC are you able to turn them off?

Video -> Subtitles Track -> Disable

If you can't turn them off there, it has to be a setting with whatever you are using to rip the DVDs.

It has to be a setting in the ripping program or they are hardcoded in the dvd itself.
