Looking for a program that will let me extract and reinsert subs to a video file.

Hi, I'm trying to make some permanent changes to some subs but I'm not sure what sort of program I can use that can extract subs in the same format they were written in, and then re-insert them back into the video file with the changes I've made.

Thanks!

Yamb can both extract and insert subs from mp4 (maybe some other containers). [Yamb is a little buggy]

"video file" is a broad term, perhaps you might like to narrow it down for the guys.

Well lots of stuff is in mkv format but the subs can be srt or other formats. I want to be able to extract it in it's original format, make the changes I want to make, and reinsert it as the same type of sub file.

Thanks!

gMKVextractGUI or MKVCleaver can extract the subtitles from MKVs, although SubtitleEdit can extract them too. For non-text based subtitles such as DVD/VobSub (idx/sub) you can't edit them directly with SubtitleEdit, but you can import them as text subtitles (which means going through the OCR process) and export them as idx/sub after editing.
MKVToolnixGUI will remux MKVs while replacing the existing subtitles with the edited version.
