Does that mean the images are transferred in the stream, so there are no other way I can get the subtitles?

What I am trying to achieve is to use Lossless_Cut (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Lossless_Cut) to copy recordings to video, using a cut list.

Lossless_Cut is supposed to use either ccextractor or mythccextractor. None of them seemed to work, and I started testing outside Lossless_Cut.

This is what ccextractor shows me, the result is an empty test.srt:

trondn at debmyth:~$ ccextractor -teletext ./1060_20130316153000.mpg -o test.srt

The PID's 6527, 6510 and 6509 may be the subtitles (in some form) then?
