MacBook Pro :: Extracting Subtitle Files From MKV File?
Oct 13, 2010
I'm trying to rip my blu-ray library with MakeMKV and convert it with Handbrake (which is the best option I've come across for a mac user like myself) but when it comes to extracting .srt files from the resulting .mkv file I come to a brick wall. When I've thought I successfully extracted them using MKVTools (the only way I'm aware of on a mac) I can't find them anywhere on my computer, thus I can't utilize the "add external .srt" option in Handbrake.
I am aware that .exe files are designed by and for Microsoft. Are there any solutions to open a self extracting zip file with the .exe extension on an older Mac OS such as OS X Tiger?
I've got a movie that plays fine with the subtitles when I use VLC but when I burn it to a DVD to play in my DivX DVD player, it won't show the subtitles. Like, it recognizes there is a subtitle file there and I choose it, but they don't show up. I can't find any apps that let you convert from .sub to .srt (a more common format).
I'm new to mac and I have a problem when I want to open a downloaded subtitle file from for example allsubs.org. It's in zip format normally and then inside that zip file there has to be an srt file. But when I download the file it doesn't give me the zip file. It just gives me a file without extension titled 1. I have already installed Stuffit and other extractors like unrarX but nothing works.
There's a System Restore DVD I have which contains some .pkg files within a .pkg. However the disk does not give me the option to Show Package Contents like some other DVDs will. I tried using Pacifist to extract the .pkgs that are contained in the main .pkg file, but that literally extracts all the files within the .pkg I select, not the .pkg itself. Is there any way that I can just get the .pkg itself? I'm trying to figure this out and it's driving me nuts. If it's unclear what I'm trying to do, the only comparison I can think of is on Windows. If I have a zip file within a zip file, I can simply extract that one zip file intact without having the folders/files within it extracted. How can I do this with a .pkg within a .pkg? On a related note, is there a site that's good for learning commands on Terminal in OS X?
I don't' want to burn them. I want them extracted to a folder; select several aspects and trash the rest. I currently have Toast but I can't see an option for just extraction.
Does anyone know how to extract audio from video files? I can't seem to do it from within the Handbrake GUI - is there a command line way of doing it? Otherwise, what's a program that can do it? Obviously I could use Audio Hijack, but I'd rather not have the quality loss that comes with re-encoding.
While reading long PDF documents I highlight text as I go. To assist reviewing and summarising the article once finished, I copy each section of highlighted text and past them onto a word document.
I am aware of the bar at the side which allows you to view a list of annotations, and I have "selected all", but the option of copying is not available. I would to know if there is a possibility of me having all the highlighted text copied and available to be pasted on a word document in one hit?
What im trying to achieve is dowloading and saving a page of images as a web archive then going back and extracting the jpeg images from the folder where I have stored the web archives.
I just purchased a new Samsung HM640JI hard drive to replace my old 250gb fujitsu hd. The problem is, if I put the new samsung hdd inside and try to do a clean install of snow leopard, the setup always hangs at "extracting essentials" and I have to keep the shutdown button pressed to close my laptop. I thought I have a ram problem or that my dvd is busted but that's not the case because I inserted the samsung hdd in an enclosure, connected it via usb and the install went just fine. After the setup was over I rebooted a couple of times (still in usb enclosure) and everything was fine but after I inserted it in my mac everything went to hell: excruciating slow boot and runtime. I repeated the process twice to be sure. My mac is a 15" 2.53 core2duo 9400m
I have been fiddling around for while on this, I cannot seem to find a simple solution. A movie file, a matching subtitle, but no simple way to stick them together and transcode for playback on other device (likely PS3). This is frustration. Any Mac devs out there should see this as an opportunity to fix a problem.
I have some .srt subtitle files which aren't synchronized properly. I have found different editors, but I need one to edit all titles at one time. For example adjust all lines by -2 seconds or so.
When I create a new project of type Hi-def 720p in imovie 06 and import my video, then black column stripes are coming on both sides in the imported video probably to compensate the width.
If this is in the wrong forum then mods please feel free to move it. I'm looking for a program that will search online for Korean subtitles for my movies. Does anyone use any such program or have any recommendations for me?
I got a question, right now when I extract a zip the extracted file appears ontop of another file/folder.Is there any way to stop this? I would like it to go to appear to the end of all the icons, instead of on another one.
Recently my 3 year old MBP has lost its video capability. I took it to my local Apple store and apparently its a logic board issue which is going to cost $1400 to fix. Unfortunately I can't justify spending even more dough then I already have on the notebook for service.
So.. what I'd like to do is extract my iTunes library and various other documents. This must be possible, but I'm not sure how to approach it.
Currently the MBP boots just fine, and the only issue is video - so I'm hoping I can still extract the information without having to resort to removing the HDD.
Has anyone tried Mail 4 (Snow Leopard's Mail) on Leopard? If so does it work? I am thinking about extracting the mail installer from the snow leopard install disk and giving it a go. My company is upgrading to exchange 2007 servers and I want to get used to using mail to sync with them. I haven't really messed with it much yet though, I have barely even played with snow leopard so far.
I have 14 .rar files that should extract into an .iso image, but I can't get them to extract together. Each one gets extracted separately. Iv tried BetterZip, Unarchiver, and Stuffit.
I have a 24 page PDF that I want to extract the text and the formatting out of it. Is there software out there that will do this (free or paid). I will do this weekly and really don't want to have to copy and paste.
