Issue with Subs after extracting MKV file

[Alucardio]

Good evening everyone, i'm new to this forum, i came here because I really don't know how to work around this and i guess someone must know how to do it over here

So i extracted this matroska file using MKV EXTRACTGUI, and it extracts 1 avi file, 2 audio tracks and 2 subtitles. Well I really don't understand why, but the subtitles just won't show again after the extract process. Any of you have ever come across something like this before? thanks in advance

Can you clarify "but the subtitles just won't show again after the extract process?" In the previous sentence you said you successfully extracted 2 subtitles???

Do you mean they just vanished? or do you mean they are renamed? or don't play in a media player?

Sometimes they are .txt files that can just be renamed.

ok, after i extract the 2 subtitles, there are 2 .srt files, and they just won't show up on the video player (i'm using bs player).

rename them so they are the same name as the media file, and placed in the same folder. Mkvextractgui will place a name like _track1 at the end sequentially numbered, so just rename them.

eg. "movie.avi"
and "movie.srt"

The video stream might be in a raw format so you might have to re-wrap it into a container for it to play.

i tried renaming the files already but it didn't work

Does the video play, and just no subs?

Did the original .mkv play ok with subs?

I don't use BSplayer, so I'm unsure how it renders subs, but do you have DirectVobSub installed?

[Alucardio]

yup, the video plays, the original mkv file played the subtitles just fine, and my bs player have no issues with subtitles.. i even tried using the video file and opening another subtitle just to try out and they worked

I even opened the subtitles with subtitle workshop just to see if there was anything odd, and they seemed perfect to me, i even compared them to another subs and they seem fine, but they just won't show up on the video player :@

[poisondeathray]

Very odd.

Did you toggle the correct sub? Move the 2nd .srt out of the folder

Try another player like VLC - it might be just BSplayer

[Alucardio]

lol, that did it man, i had the vlc all the time and i forgot to try that out

But still it's really strange, but hey, problem solved, thanks a lot bro you just won one cookie
