+title: "Dumping subtitles using FFmpeg"

+
+As part of my ongoing [language learning](/languages/) attempts, I tend to enable subtitles in the language I'm wanting to learn, and when I see a word I don't recognise in the context I do I'll make a note of it.
+
+This manual approach though can get a bit tiresome, so if you want a quick way to dump an entire subtitle file from a video, you can do the following:
+```
+ffmpeg -i video.mkv
+```
+
+This will list the streams available, video, audio and subtitles if available. If labels are available it will show them here too. Make a note of the stream you want. In the above example, we're seeing `Stream #0:5(nor)` in our original command output which would be Norwegian. To dump this stream to a subrip `srt` file you'll run the following:
+```
+ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c copy -map 0:5 subtitles.srt
+```
+
+You should now have a single `srt` file with your subtitles as expected in them.
+
+I'll write another post for how to format these files to a usable list type format later.
+**Edit:** [Follow up article posted here](/blog/2020/05/28/formatting-dumped-subtitles/).
