extract subtitles stream from avi

Postby msdobrescu » Mon Apr 09, 2012 16:35

Hello,

I have a bunch of avi's with an additional subtitles stream.
How could I extract them (they are sub, not DVD or hardcoded).

Thank you.

Well,

I know that you can do it with 'ffmpeg'. Ffmpeg supports the following subtitle codecs:

  • ass - Advanced SubStation Alpha subtitle
  • dvbsub - DVB subtitles
  • dvdsub - DVD subtitles
  • pgssub - HDMV Presentation Graphic Stream subtitles
  • srt - SubRip subtitle
  • xsub - DivX subtitles (XSUB)

And, if you're not sure which one you need, you can usually get an idea from running the following command on the avi file:
Code: Select all
 ~ $ ffplay -an -vn -stats <path to AVI file>


HTH. Let us know.
Regards,

Hello,

Sorry to reply so late.
I don't know what's wrong, but it didn't work.
I have used mkvmerge to remux it and extract it from the mkv.
