Cannot Extract Subtitles from .VOB files

[Selur]

Extraxting a .sup IS the wrong way. Hybrid will assume it's a .sup from a Blu-ray.
Extract an .srt or .ass file.

Yeah, I think I'm going to try a different program and report back.

CCExtractor can extract to .srt (I wrote the steps down,...)

Again, have you tried → THIS    ?

Also, like selur mentioned, its odd that your subs is identified as a ansi txt file and not as graphical images    !
I wonder, are the subs from a RETAIL dvd source ?

It's quite possible that the subs of your source are from an RLE format (and not a format official!) , and are graphical after all ..

It's not 'odd' if you use a dvd from a dvd recorder.

dvd recorder that adds txt based subs to dvd structure?

I owned an vhs to DVD recorder, and wosn't capable of doing that ..  Only able to capture burned in subs.. 

Must be a special kind of recorder!

a. Closed Captions are allowed for DVD (and Blu-ray, but not mandatory) and just that common in commercial DVDs.
b. Closed Captions usually come from broadcast streams and if those are captured with DVD recorders you get those on the DVD.

Yes, what i meant to say is .. there are only 2 type's kind of subtitles.. one that is embedded in the video content (burned-in) and the closed captions (seperate tracks / file) as i understand it.

And for as far i know, retail subtitles are allot of graphical images bundled (imaged based) in one format, and not just plain ascii txt file.. right?

Streams nowday's however, contain txt based subtitles too if iam not mistaken.. But can you classify streams under commercial broadcasts?  I mean don't broadcast contain dvb-subs ?

On DVDs one usually differentiates between:

• CC = closed caption are usually text base and usually come from broadcasts, but are allowed on DVDs. There are even commercial DVDs with closed captions. (these are basically SRT subtitles; see: A Technical Explanation of Placement and Format of DVD Closed Caption User Data Packets)
  
• Subtitles containing image based subtitles, these usually get extracted as vobsub (idx,sub) subtitles.
  
• Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH), these are basically the same as the normal subtitles but add atmospheric comments (like 'background chatter' or 'music plays' or 'thunder in the background',...).
  

Embedded subtitles that are part of the image do not count as subtitles in the DVD specification, they are simply a part of the video stream.
Unlike DVDs, (UHD- and HD) Blu-rays only support image based subtitles.
Streaming media can have tons of different subtitle formats,..

The subtitles in the sample are valid closed caption subtitles and can be extracted as srt files using CCExtractor without a problem.

Exactly that ↑ .. 

Only have found/extracted image based CC's from BD's AND DVD sources   
Never encountered txt,srt.. based subs... in any form, size or scent in my huge dvd/bd library ..

But haven't checked near half of it either..so..
.. hard to phantom that .. !
