    I am trying to made a DVD5 from a mkv movie

    Media Info indicated that there are 3 streams :

    Video Stream AVC
    Audio stream DTS
    Text Stream UTF-8


    All three software indicate that there is no subtitle stream . I tried AVS2DVD and FAVC , the video and audio converted fine but no subtitle.

    The subtitle is definitely there as I can see it when I play the movie using power DVD , VLC player or even streaming it to WDTV live. Maybe these conversion software don't recognize UTF 8 text streams ?

    What to do? I should rip the text with subrip and add the subtitle manually?

    Will ripping the subtitles mess up the original video clip?

    Thanks

    Install mkvtoolnix and MKVExtractGUI to the same folder (edit#2: not the same folder as the videos - just make sure that when you install them, you install them both to the same folder). Load the MKV in MKVExtractGUI. You should be able to extract the subtitle stream, there. Load the subtitles into FAVC/etc. when you're converting.

    No, demuxing the subtitles won't have any effect on the original video (they'll still be a part of it - but as long as they're not hardsubs, they're a separate file within the MKV container, anyway.)

    Edit: Why not continue this in your original topic, here?

    If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them?

    Your suggestion worked for me. MKV extracted the subtitle to srt format in a few seconds !
    I am currently using Vista 32 Sp2 . However I plan to switch over to win 7 x64. Do the programs you suggested above work in Win 7 x64 as well ? Yks

    They should work - but I can't guarantee it, as I'm not using Win7. They work with no problems for me under Vista x64, though.
