    I've got an MKV that when played in VLC shows subs (soft, not hard).

    But MKVextractGUI doesn't see any -- it doesn't see any streams at all.


    Are there any other ways to get subs out of an MKV?

    Here's the Mediainfo, it shows there is a text sub:

    Code:
    General
    Format                           : Matroska

  2. Sometimes the original mkvextract "sticks" . Try loading video a few times, and it will eventually see the subs

    or you can try mkvextractgui-2

    Solved it: used the command line mkvextract.
    Code:
    mkvextract tracks "video.mkv"  -c ISO8859-1 3:video.srt
    So it's just the GUI that has the problem.

    mkvextractgui-2 works too
    The original MKVExtractGUI hasn't been updated since 2007.

    Thanks.
