How to Extract SRT (Subtitle File) From MKV Movie File on Windows

Ive just download a very good, and a highly recommended anime, Digimon Adventure Tri. It can play well on my laptop, but when i put it on my TV, somehow the subtitle is gone. I notice that it happen because the srt got burn inside the video file.

After browsing for a while, i found out that i can extract my srt using MKVToolNix tools. I downloaded it, and using one of its tools, mkvextract.exe, i can extract the subtitles i wanted from my mkv files.

But first, make sure you use mkvinfo.exe to check your mkv information.

C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix>mkvinfo.exe 
        "C:\Users\edw\Downloads\[HorribleSubs] Digimon Adventure tri - 01 [1080p].mkv"

And find track id for subtitles.

| + A track
|  + Track number: 3 (track ID for mkvmerge & mkvextract: 2)
|  + Track UID: 3
|  + Track type: subtitles
|  + Lacing flag: 0
|  + Codec ID: S_TEXT/ASS
|  + CodecPrivate, length 1934

In this scenario, my subtitle track id is 2 and subtitle format is .ass

Okay, whit that information, i can start to extracting my subtitle file.

C:\MKVToolNix>mkvextract tracks 
        "C:\Users\edw\Downloads\[HorribleSubs] Digimon Adventure tri - 01 [1080p].mkv" 
        2:"E:mysubtitle.ass"

It will extract subtitle from “Digimon Adventure tri – 04 [1080p].mkv” and put the subtitle on E:\ with named mysubtitle.ass. You can convert .ass file into .srt file easily using online converter tools.

Download A Free Screen Recorder Software (CamStudio), and get A Lot of Crapware

Today i decided to download free Camstudio application from camstudio.org, and perhaps it’s my fault for not reading Terms and Condition, just simple next and next, accept and accept, but what i got is so many crapware.

This is for example,
palikan

And i dont even know, what else crapware that i got.
TL;DR, dont use CamStudio, because i uninstalled like 5 minutes after i download this application.

ps.
remove highstair application from control panel, it will help remove the unwanted ads on your browsers.

Unable to Delete Dist Folder from Netbeans’ Build.xml File

I found this weird error when building my java application into jar from Netbeans, somehow Netbeans shows error due to unreadable dist folder. And the weird thing is, i cannot delete the dist folder manually, it keeps giving me the Folder Access Denied dialog box with choices to “Try Again” or “Cancel”. I also have tried changing permissions in the properties window but it does not seem to work.

Well the workaround is actually simple, i just open task manager, and end explorer.exe process. And i dont know why, but my dist folder is gone. Very weird actually 😀
