For some reason i'm not able to extract the subtitles from some mkv files
Well i can extract a subtitle file, but it's a broken file with no actual dialog in it just timings.
heres a link to one of the videos

these are not hardsubbed files, the subtitles can actually be turned on/off in VLC (though not mpc for some reason)
anyone got any ideas how to get it out?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

well i'll try that later but even if it does work i have hundreds of files i need to extract.
and my mkvtoolnix is up to date. -
Use a batch tool like mkvcleaver
But the style extracted is slightly malformed in this file. Not sure why. But the text/timing are there -
open it up in notepad or some text editor - the text and timing are there but there are missing styles , malformed entries
ffmpeg / mkvtoolnix extract it the same way . Not sure why -
gMKVExtractGUI has a batch mode https://www.videohelp.com/software/gMKVExtractGUI

Check again. With latest mkvtoolnix there should be no problem. (bug was fixed in 10.0.0)
As poisondeathray said these ASS subtitles are malformed (if you assume de-facto standard to be Aegisub style).
Workaround: use a libass based subtitle renderer. For example the one in VLC or mpv. For MPC-HC you can use AssFilterMod.
Fix: extract subtitles using up-to-date mkvtoolnix, fix like explained here, then remux. -
hmm well i had version 13 and it wasn't working
updated to 14 and it does now.
thanks
