VOBsub

VOBsub extracts the DVD subtitles raw PES from a DVD and dumps this to a .sub file. It also creates a .idx Index file with the times and byteoffsets for each and every single subtitle. The format has support for multiple tracks and can also be embedded in MP4 (by Nero) and Matroska files.

A typical VobSub .idx file looks like:

# VobSub index file, v7 (do not modify this line!)
# 
# To repair desyncronization, you can insert gaps this way:
# (it usually happens after vob id changes)
# 
#	 delay: [sign]hh:mm:ss:ms
# 
# Where:
#	 [sign]: +, - (optional)
#	 hh: hours (0 <= hh)
#	 mm/ss: minutes/seconds (0 <= mm/ss <= 59)
#	 ms: milliseconds (0 <= ms <= 999)
# 
#	 Note: You can't position a sub before the previous with a negative value.
# 
# You can also modify timestamps or delete a few subs you don't like.
# Just make sure they stay in increasing order.
