Extract an .srt or .ass file.

Cu Selur

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


Again, have you tried → THIS   Wink ?

Also, like selur mentioned, its odd that your subs is identified as a ansi txt file and not as graphical images  Dodgy  !
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 ..


cheers,

I tried that exact PGCdemux version and only get .sup files.
The subs are from a retail DVD source. It was an older movie, so I bought it off of Amazon about 10 years ago. Back when Amazon was less sketchy lol.

I ended up using Subtitle Edit to extract the subtitles.

Like I wrote, cc (EIA-608) subtitles are not so common on DVDs

Big studios often do not add CC user data subtitles since it is an extra, not mandatory step.
You can read the standard if you don't believe me. If you want to better understand DVD related stuff without reading the standard, 'DVD Demystified' (<- the book) is a good read.

I wouldn't be surprised if that does exist on some dvd sources..
And like you wrote, it has been done in rare cases... 

Hence and again , hard to imagine to find a example in one's collection..  It's not that i NOT believe you  Angel
I mean it's possible that it could be a very rare case where they did something like that. It was bascially a B or C movie back in the day. Assuming I'm understanding correctly, is it possible that they took some old TV broadcast or VHS data and slapped it into DVD format? It was interlaced, and I think they would have still most likely used film back in 1991. I'm just shooting off theories, but I don't know.
