I had this in my inbox (which I use like a todo list) for quite some
time and am finally trying to find a few things. A little googling
around turned up a few utilities which will extract from a decrypted DVD
folder. They seemed quite old so not sure if they will work:
D-Subtitler

This thread says you can do it with Mac The Ripper:

Hope this helps.

Spiros and I got the film today. So can I have the names of some
accessible subtitle extraction software? I would try searching on the
disk itself to see if it's a regular file, but we've pretty much
established that it's not. Btw, I'd certainly prefer Mac software,
but if there's something for windows XP that'll do it, please let me
know.
Thanks,

So in other words, i can't just open the disk and either read along
with the film or open the files for later browsing with Text Edit, but
there is software that'll extract those files for me? Can you give me
any names? This would be really cool! Then, I could watch all sorts
of things! This isn't to say that I'll continue slacking off on my
Greek lessons, but it would make things easier for the time being.
Thanks,

Interesting. For broadcast in the states subtitles are encoded into the
video and I thought that subtitles were multiplexed into the MPEG file
for DVDs as well. This multiplexed data is presented as "tracks" which
the DVD player can turn on and off. Maybe the copies you were poking at
were already de-muxed. At least there seem to be a lot of shareware and
commercial packages which claim to do this subtitle demux or ripping.

Well,as far as I know,the subtitle aren't embedded in the video...This
you can see (here in scandinavia and so on), one can choos wich
language the subs shall be in, and also if it should be there...
If you look at the stuff at piratebay and so on, the subtitles often
are added as extra files...

My understanding of video subtitles was that they are encoded into
the NTSC video stream and aren't generally available as a separate
file. This how they know which bit of text to show when because it's
right in there with the audio and video content.

My boyfriend Spiros and I want to watch a movie in Greek and I'm
wondering if VO could handle reading subtitles with VLC Media Player,
or something else, on the Mac. If not, then he could translate for
me, but it would be alot easier this way. If VO can't read them
during the movie, then would it be possible for me to open a folder or
something with the subtitles in it so I can read it separately?
Thanks,
