How to read sup files (PGS graphical subtitles from BD/UHD)

[Roscoe62]

Hi there,

The title says it all really. I've just migrated from a windows pc to a linux mint pc. On my windows pc I would use MKVCleaver to rip the PGS subtitle tracks out of a movie mkv file, and then use Suprip to read the subtitle tracks.

Now I'm on linux I can't use MKVCleaver, but I've found some commands that work to get MKVExtract to rip out the PGS subtitle tracks, but I haven't yet found a way to read them (Suprip is a windows-only app).

I did find the following post talking about using BDSup2Sub for that task...

...but, being fairly new to linux, I don't know how to set this up, or if there's a better solution out there.

Can anyone help me at all?
