I'm trying to watch m2ts file with .srt subtitles, but they're about 8 seconds ahead of the video. Changing the subtitle delay in Media Player Classic has no effect. Some googling suggests a program called tsMuxeR might help, but I can't figure out what options will solve my problem (TS muxing, M2TS muxing, Blu-ray disk, AVCHD disk, Demux). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Where did you get that particular subtitle file?

It was probably made for a different render of the same movie. I d/l subtitles all the time for my tv shows, movies. But it is hit or miss on some depending on who ripped the movie.

Find another subtitle file for the same movie if you d/l the first one. Or use above program to redo the start & end times of the subtitle.

I actually tried a couple of different .srt files for the same film, and got the same problem for both. I then tried the same .srt with a DVD version of the film, and it worked fine. I then tried this program tsMuxer to create a new file with the srt file, incorporating the appropriate delay. This appeared to work at the beginning, but apparently there's a slight difference in speeds between the DVD and bluray versions, because it went out of sync later on. Playing the DVD and bluray versions side by side, I confirmed that the bluray version was playing at a slightly different speed. So the problem remains.

Thanks for the jubler link -- I saw it after I watched the (DVD) version of the film, so I'll try it next time I have this problem. Would love to know how to fix it if only out of curiosity.

I would try to extract the SUP file from the original m2ts. Then convert it to SRT using BDsup2sub and trying that.
