Does anyone know how to get subtitles separated from an mkv file?

Yeah so like the title says I plan to make an edit of Rec 1 & 2 but both are in Spanish so I need those subtitles otherwise I'm editing blind but I just don't know how to get them separated from the mkv file.

Some help would be greatly appreciated.

This is free and full of all sorts of tools for muxing/demuxing mkv and mp4, including subs:


However, it might be easier for your editing purposes to burn the subtitles into your mkv video at the ripping stage. Then when the edit is finished, you should have the option to simply swap the source file to the mkv without the subs burned in. Or just leave the subs burned in.

and this free program is great for editing and syncing subtitles in most formats (including the most prevalent *.srt format):


If you're trying to extract a blu-ray subtitle file, it'll probably be a *.sup file (If I remember correctly) which is some sort of graphic file, not text like *.srt. So you might need to use Subtitle-Edit's OCR (Optical character recognition) tool to convert it. It takes a lot of time and effort to do, unless you can find a free *.srt file available somewhere.

I highly recommend Aegisub (free) for extracting subtitles from MKVs
