I tried fixing the syncing for Japanese subs with Aegisub as people suggested, but for the life of me I cannot figure that program out. I just recently discovered there are websites that can re-sync the files very easily if you know how many seconds the subs are off by. http://subshifter.bitsnbites.eu/ My favorite show was off by a whopping 31 seconds... next time I watch it I will definitely try the Japanese subs.
Subtitle Edit is a more intuitive program, IMO. In SE, it's pretty easy to offset all subtitles going forward or backward by a set time. SE also supports loading the video you're timing to, and re-syncing subtitles as you watch.
A site that resyncs by x seconds will work with some videos; however, on others, the subtitles are thrown back off every time there's a commercial break. If the subtitle is only off by a few seconds consistently, like CureDolly said, you can use VLC or OPlayer to adjust the sync offset on the fly and get the subs roughly where you need them.
