    How to extract closed captions from DVD

    peacebreakerr Community Member

      Hi all, been doing research for the past week and testing out different free programs on mac & PC, but I can't seem to figure out a way to extract a CC track from a DVD a client gave me. 

       

      Basically I'm re-authoring a DVD with a new menu in Encore.  I have the mpeg2 & aif demuxed using mpeg streamclip.  But I can't figure out how to get the CC track using any program (like subrip, jubler, etc).  Just about all of them seem only capable of recognizing subtitle tracks.

       

      As a last ditch solution, are there any encoders that will at least see the captions so that I can hardcode them?  I know it's not ideal to encode an mpeg2 from an mpeg2 source but I'm at wit's end.
