get subtitles from DVD/.vob? (pref. with mplayer/mencoder)

[cthulhu]

Doing this:

Code: Select all

mplayer dvd://1 -v -dumpstream -dumpfile dump.vob

Gives me all the audio tracks, but not the subtitles. How can I go about getting the subtitles to be included in the file dump.vob? I've tried something like:

Code: Select all

mplayer dvd://1 -v -sid 5 -dumpstream -dumpfile dump.vob

(where -sid 5 was the correct subtitle) but this does not work.

I'm going to use mencoder to make an .avi file (with subtiutles, obviously), so I could, as a last resort, use some other program that extracts the subtitles (suggestions?).

It's been a while but isn't it -dumpsub you are looking for?

[cthulhu]

Checking the man-page, there is a:

−dumpsub (MPlayer only) (BETA CODE)
Dumps the subtitle substream from VOB streams. Also see the −dump*sub and −vobsubout* options.

but I'm guessing the "BETA CODE" is not a sign of good reliability.

Probably just left over cruft in the man pages. I remember using it years and years ago....

Anyone who knows his (or her) way with this care to share syntax?

I tried:

Code: Select all

mplayer dvd://1 -dumpsub

.. as well as ..

Code: Select all

mplayer /mnt/dvd/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB -dumpsub

.. as well as ..

Code: Select all

mplayer /mnt/dvd/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.IFO -dumpsub

However, all these commands gives me:

demux: File doesn't contain the selected audio or video stream.
