DirectVobSub (formerly known as VSFilter) is a software add-on for Microsoft Windows (a DirectShowfilter) that is able to read external subtitle files and superimposes them on a playing video file.[1][2][3]
Vobsub Subtitle Format
If you find yourself stuck with a matrioska file that only has subtitles in vobsub format, it's relatively painless to extract and convert them. step 1: extract vobsubs from.mkv file: install mkvtoolnix if you haven't already. Install mkvtoolnix-gui also, if you want. And might as well install avidemux as well, you're going to need it later. Vobsub subtitles extraction encode2mpeg uses MEncoder to extract vobsub subtitles from a dvd. There are 3 options about vobsub dumping: -encsid -encsdx -encsla. Look at this output of mplayer when accessing a dvd: INFO: mplayer open audio stream: 0 audio format: ac3 (5.1) language: en aid: 128.
DirectVobSub/VSFilter were formerly part of a whole application known as VobSub which was also able to extract subtitles from DVD Video and create text-based subtitles, without ripping the DVD to a file first. The last version of VobSub was version 2.23, after which the development of VobSub ceased. VSFilter was a part of the guliverkli project on the SourceForge web site. The guliverkli project also includes the ability to extract subtitles from a DVD via the vobsub ripper program.[4][5][6] However, development of guliverkli ceased in 2005 with version 2.37. In 2007, it became a part of the Guliverkli2 project, now known as DirectVobSub, starting with version 2.38.[7][8][9][10][11] But till September, 2012, the last guliverkli2 commitment was on April 10, 2011.[12] Then, the MPC-HC project took over the sources. Under that project, DirectVobSub was very briefly in active development again,[13] but MPC-HC shut down in 2017 due to a lack of developers.
DirectVobSub is also capable of extracting subtitles from a DVD without ripping it to a file first. 'Vobsub rippers' are also available for the same effect. Note also the guliverkli project has a related project VSrip.
