Is there a way to extract a PGS or VOBSUB subtitle from a .mkv file on Mac and convert it to .srt?
When using mkvtoolnix I receive a .mks file, but I have no idea on how to proceed afterwards…
Please bear in mind that this is a new area for me.
Thankful for any kind of input!
mkvmerge
(and therefore MKVToolNix GUI by extension) always creates Matroska files. If you want to get a track out of a Matroska file into something else you can use the CLI-only program mkvextract
which is part of MKVToolNix. It’s available on the DMG when it’s mounted.
How do I use this? I have downloaded the DMG file for Mac.
When opening the contents folder of MKVtoolnix I see these ones in a list:
- mkvextract
- mkvinfo
- mkvmerge
- mkvpropedit
- mkvtoolnix-gui
How do I install them?
I’ve copied mkvextract to “/usr/local/bin”
Like I wrote, mkvextract
is a CLI program. You can find its reference documentation here. You can Google for examples of how to use it; there’s tons of information out there.
Apart from that I don’t offer support for macOS-specific things.
