subtitles from dvd to mkv

[humambrose]

I extracted dvd subtitles in .srt format with dvdfab and muxed them on mkvtool. During muxing I get this warning (Attention to line 3701: the initial timestamp is smaller than the previous element. All the elements of this file will be sorted according to the initial time)
when I open the movie the subtitles come out overlapping and in a messy way. Does anyone know how I can fix it? How can I extract subtitles from a DVD correctly? thanks I await your news

Load the srt and the video in subtitleedit and correct the sub timings. Then remux with mkvtoolnix.

thanks, how can I correct the sub timing ??

It depends on how bad the timings are screwed up. With Subtitle Edit you can correct a constant offset, change framerate, visually sync, etc.
And of course there is manually editing the timings, which is quite a task...

Maybe you want to try both extracting & OCR-ing the subtitles with Subtitle Edit and go from there.
