"as .mks" is OK?
then...MMG does a job.

If you are going to extract a sub track (originally IDX+SUB) and transmux it into another MKV, then .mks works.
(.mks can be loaded into GraphEdit too)

Or, you can even directly transmux one MKV into another, using MMG or GraphEdit.

If you need to have the original IDX+SUB from the MKV with S_VOBSUB, I simply dont know what to do... Only I can say is, mkvextract cant do that.

I want to have the original IDX+SUB from the MKV file.
And I have visit the http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
(mkvtoolnix offical website) and also find the S_VOBSUB cant be supported by mkvtoolnix. So I think is there any other tools can do that?
Thank you for your reply!

I know this is late but here goes.

It is impposible to restore the original .idx and .sub file from an mkv. When the mkv is muxed w/ the vobsub content all of the mpeg-2 stream information contained in the .idx and .sub file is stripped cleaned and muxed w/ only the information that the various vobsub decoders.

If the the vobsub is the third track of file.mkv then

mkvextract tracks file.mkv 3:track3

will produce track3.idx and track3.sub

track3.idx file is difficult to use as an index, but you can recover a more useful index by using MP4Box, create an mp4 with the vobsub then extract it:

MP4Box -add track3.idx -new file.mp4
MP4Box -raw 1 file.mp4

will produce file_track1.idx and file_track1.sub

I guess you did not notice that you are responding to a 9 and a half year old topic?
