Ok. I extract the subtitles via mkvextract tracks #:output.srt
-
but how do I play the avi file with the subtitles in the srt file ? Both vlc and mplayer do not recognize the format of the srt file ?

Thanks

For Avidemux, answer "yes" if you're asked whether you'd like to "use 
another mode which is safe" to help prevent crashes with mkvs.

Per http://winff.org/html_new/  
"WinFF is available for Windows 95, 98 , ME, NT, XP, VISTA, and Debian, 
Ubuntu, Redhat based GNU/Linux distributions."

Having said that, mkvtoolnix is still my tool of choice for extracting 
subtitles from an mkv container.
