better tool than vsrip for closed captions?

[spotter]

I have a bunch of DVDs that don't have vob subs, but do have a closed captioning (cosby show, charmed....)

I want to rip them to mkv and include the closed captioning srt as the subtitle track.

however, all the problems mentioned here

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=799355#post799355

are things that I'm hitting with vsrip (minus the funky characters which seem to be avoided with utf8) and makes it much harder to work with as have to fix things up which take a significant amount of time per srt file.

anyone have a better idea of how to handle this for dvds closed captions?

Have you taken a look at Subrip?

I guess I don't know how to rip closed captions with subrip. While I use it for ripping vob sub's to text, i don't know how it helps me here.

ccextractor and it's windows gui works great, though it can't do ifo's so need to vstrip the television show to a single vob first. oh well.

If you are using Windows, t2sami will also work. Mostly a program for TivoToGo programing but it handles ifos, closed captions and subtitles on DVDs in order to set them up for a Tivo.

Anyone now how to put closed captioning INTO a file NOT as a subtitle text but as a true closed captioning stream in the format recognized by TV's? I tried t2sami but it only seems to pull from TiVo files, Not insert CC. I could be doing something wrong though.
If It is I wouldn't have a clue to how.
