Use mkvinfo to get information about tracks.
I found it more reliable and accurate than SubtitleEdit alone, for some reason its DVD/MKV extractor is not entirely reliable.įor command line and alternative operating systems (you mention Ubuntu) you can use mkvextract which is a part of mkvtoolnix that you have already installed.įrom an answer by Cornelius in Extract subtitles from mkv on AskUbuntu: You can then import these files into SubtitleEdit. For DVD subtitles it will export two files, the index of subtitle time and position locations and the actual graphical subtitles. You can simply drag and drop an MKV file (or files) on to it, click the check boxes for the tracks you want to extract, and then click 'Extract Tracks'.īy default your subtitle tracks will then be exported with the name FileName_TrackNo.ext.
I use MKVCleaver for this as it provides a simple GUI interface for mkvtoolnix on Windows.
