I would convert dvd subtitles in a file in .srt format.
To do this I did:
 
  mencoder dvd://1 -oac copy -ovc copy -o movie.avi -vobsubout subtitle

This command create the files movie.avi, subtitle.idx and subtitle.sub
Then I did:
 
   mplayer movie.avi -sub subtitle.sub -dumpsrtsub

This should create (I think...) a file  dumpsub.srt ,
but this don't happens.
What's is wrong ?

Thanks,
