Batch extract srt from multiple Mkv's?

[gosa]

Hi,

At the moment I'm using iMKVExtract to extraxt srt from a mkv file.
Which is a very slow process since I have multiple mkv files.

Is there a way to extract srt from several mkv files?
It would also be nice if the srt's automatically get the same name as the mkv.
So if you know a way to do this, I would really appreciate it.
It may be a GUI or with a script.

(If I'm not mistaken there is a tool like this for windows and it's called mkvcleaver but haven't found anything for mac)

Greets and thanks in advance.

wrote a small tool that allows to extract (all) video and/or audio and/or subtitle stream from mkv files.
1. start tool
2. drag&drop the mkv's in the empty list (you can also drop folders)
3. set output folder
4. start extraction
5. wait till it's finished
it's not tested a lot but, judging from my tests it's doing what it's ment to do,..

Hi,

Thanks for the reply!

I tried it but nothing seems to happen.
But I might be missing something simple.

What I did was unzipping the file.
I dragged the app into my programs and I ran the program.
Then I followed the steps so I dragged the mkv-files, then I set the output folder.
I wanted to select Subtitle Stream but it didn't allow me to select the sub alone.
I got the following message: You need to select at least one type of stream to extract.
So I selected the audio and video as well and then it started.
Then it went very fast so I had a feeling that it wasn't really extracting.
When I went to the output folder, nothing was there.

Do I need to do something else? Or does your app work with another app? Maybe I need to install something extra?

I have a mac osx lion 10.7.3 by the way.

Cheers

I wanted to select Subtitle Stream but it didn't allow me to select the sub alone.
I got the following message: You need to select at least one type of stream to extract.

-> fixed (I accidentally checked the audioCheckBox instead of the subtitleCheckBox)

hmm,.. worked fine here,.. (mkvmerge and mkvextract 5.5 are included,..)

-> give a few minutes, I'll add some additional status info, so bugs are easier to track,..

[gosa]

Thanks for your time.
I'm looking forward to it.

Cheers

Okay, I figured out where the main problem is. The mkvmerge/mkvextract versions I added to the package and that are available on the mkvtoolnix homepage are not statically compiled and do not come with all the required libraries they need.
-> I'll probably compile mkvmerge&co myself then

[Selur]

Attached a version that looks for mkvmerge&mkvextract inside /opt/local/bin which is where MacPorts installs them.
I'll later look into compiling mkvmerge&mkvextract statically, so that MacPorts isn't needed.

[Selur]

Think I got it know,.. and I finally start to understand the .app structure better,..

[gosa]

Hi,

Does this version need mkvextract and mkvmerge installed in /opt/local/bin or does it work statically?

I tried the new zip and after running it I get the following:

p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } setting output folder to /Users/SG/Movies/new,..

file: /Users/SG/Movies/test.mkv, audio: 1, video: 1, subtitle: 1, output: /Users/SG/Movies/new

Thanks for trying to help.

[Selur]

mkvextract&mkvmerge are included (but dynamically linked)
output looks okay.
-> did you check if '/Users/SG/Movies/new/' contains the extracted files?
(btw. it should also work if you just enable the subtitle extraction)

atm. there's a lot of unneeded stuff in the log, but I think I leave it there for a while until I'm sure everthing is working,..

[gosa]

Hi,

Sadly there is nothing in the /Users/SG/Movies/new/
I think it's because I don't have mkvmerge and mkvextract installed.

So i need to do that first.
I installed macports and I tried "sudo port install mkvtoolnix" but I get

Warning: xcodebuild exists but failed to execute
Warning: Xcode does not appear to be installed; most ports will likely fail to build.

So apparently I need to install Xcode first.

I will try and install Xcode.

[Selur]

it would help if you call:

"/Applications/MkvExtractor 3.app/Contents/MacOS/mkvextract" tracks  "/Users/SG/Movies/test.mkv" --ui-language en_US --raw  1:"/Users/SG/Movies/new/test_1.264" 2:"/Users/SG/Movies/new/test_2.aac"  3:"/Users/SG/Movies/new/test_3.ass"

in a terminal an post what the output is.
Installing mkvmerge,mkvextract,... will not fix the problem,... since MkvExtractor will only look inside the .add folder

[gosa]

Hi,

This is what I excuted:

MBPSG:opt SG$ "/Applications/MkvExtractor 3.app/Contents/MacOS/mkvextract" tracks  "/Users/SG/Movies/test.mkv" --ui-language en_US --raw  1:"/Users/SG/Movies/new/test_1.264" 2:"/Users/SG/Movies/new/test_2.aac"  3:"/Users/SG/Movies/new/test_3.ass"

This is what I got:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libmagic.1.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/MkvExtractor 3.app/Contents/MacOS/mkvextract
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

No Idea what that means.

[Selur]

That means there is this one or more libaries missing in the package,... -> I'll look on my system

[Selur]

Attached a version with libmagic.1.dylib included. -> try the command line with this version

[gosa]

Hi,

I tried with the new zip and I still got:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libmagic.1.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/MkvExtractor.app/Contents/MacOS/mkvextract
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

Are you sure you zipped the latest version

[Selur]

that's strange because it is included in the package (MkvExtractor.app/Contents/Frameworks/libmagic.1.dylib) thought that would fix the problem,..

[gosa]

Hi,

I went to the directory with Terminal and it's indeed in the Framework directory.
I tried to copy to the lib directory but there is some kind of permision problem:

MBPSG:Frameworks SG$ cp libmagic.1.dylib /opt/local/lib/libmagic.1.dylib
cp: /opt/local/lib/libmagic.1.dylib: Permission denied

[gosa]

Aha.
I used

sudo cp ...

And now I get the following:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libvorbis.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/MkvExtractor.app/Contents/MacOS/mkvextract
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

So I will do the same and let you know how it went.

[Selur]

grrr,.. that one like libmagic isn't included in the official mkvtoolnix downloads,.. :/

[gosa]

Hi,

Well I copied the magic file but like I posted I need
libvorbis.0.dylib

Have no idea where to get that. I thought I would maybe find it in the frameworks directory but it wasn't there.

Do you know where I can get it?

Thanks

[Selur]

1. let me look, I thing I got it somewhere on my mac
2. I will contact Jonathan who makes the mkvtoolnix mac packages.

[gosa]

Great,

I will patiently wait
Thanks for sticking arround and helping out.

i'm so looking forward to be able to extract multiple subtitles at once
It's gonna save me a lot of time.

[Selur]

attached libvorbis.0.dylib, post if you need other libs,..
Hoping Jonathan will include all the binaries in the official build, than I could add the offical .app into my .app

[gosa]

Hi,

I'm still missing library files.

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libogg.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/MkvExtractor.app/Contents/MacOS/mkvextract
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

Is there a library pack that I need to download so I have most common dylib files.
My mac is only 2 old and I"m still a bit new to mac so...

[Selur]

personally I installed MacPorts and install most of the small tools through it,... attached libogg

[gosa]

Hi,

I didn't want to annoy you but I can't find liblzo2.2.dylib
If you happen to know which dylib mkvmerge and mkvextract use, feel free to zip them up.
It will spare some time sending each dylib

For now I have only three files:

ls /opt/local/lib
libmagic.1.dylib    libogg.0.dylib        libvorbis.0.dylib

[Selur]

belief me if I would now which libraries are needed I would already have made a complete zip package,..
(btw. you are not annoying, this way I too learn which libraries mkvtoolnix needs )

liblzo2.2.dylib attached

[gosa]

You're definitly the most patient person I know on any forum I've ever been, lol.

This time it asks for another dylib but with another reason:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/MkvExtractor.app/Contents/MacOS/mkvextract
  Reason: Incompatible library version: mkvextract requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 7.0.0
Trace/BPT trap: 5

Could you send your version please? thnx

[Selur]

attached libiconv.2.dylib
at least now I know why there are not so many small encoding guis&co for mac out there,.. it's a pain to deploy them unless mac a macport,..
