I've tried to use MKVextract to extract the subtitle streams (idx/sub) from the mkv file, but it seems that there is a problem with the mkv file itself. It only extracts the subtitles partially (i.e. first 40 Minutes only). I'm wondering if there is a solution for this problem. By the way, I can play the mkv file without any problems using Media Player. I think there is a glitch in the mkv file that is causing this problem.
Any suggestions?

Software players are usually more forgiving of errors in a video file than anything else (converters, hardware players, etc.), so it's not uncommon to see other programs having problems with a video while a software player doesn't.
Are you sure you're using the latest versions of mkvtoolnix and MKVExtractGUI, both installed to the same directory?If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them? -
Thanks for your reply Ai Haibara,
I made a clean installation for Windows XP and then installed the latest version of mkvtoolnix and MKVExtractGUI from Videohelp. The problem is still there. I'm wondering if there is a tool for mkv files that would do to them what DivFix tool used to do for divx files. -
You can try re-wrapping the mkv with mkvmergegui (i.e. make a new .mkv by repackaging it, so if there was damage in the structure, it might fix it), then try mkvextract
If that doesn't work , try re-wrapping with gdsmux (haali muxer, comes with the haali splitter package), then mkvextract -
Hi poisondeathray,
Thanks for your feedback.
Using mkvmergegui & mkvextract yielded the same results as mkvtoolnix and MKVExtractGUI did (i.e. first 40 Minutes only).
When I tried gdsmux, it is stuck at 1.4% and doesn't move. -
Well, there is some progress here. 41 Minutes generated
Here is the log file from avimux-gui, if anyone can benefit from it:

Do you still have the original source? e.g DVD ? maybe you can re-rip the subs?
You can sometimes find .srt subs on subtitle databases, but rarely idx/sub
How was the .mkv damaged?
Try ogmcleaver ... not hopeful though
