Trond,
Use the mediainfo utility to identify which tracks contain the "TEXT" 
subtitlesas those are the tracks you care looking for to generate an srt 
file. For example:
 > mediainfo 2558_20120901010000.mpg

A text subtitle would like:

Text #1
ID                                       : 5603 (0x15E3)-888
Menu ID                                  : 1 (0x1)
Format                                   : Teletext
Language                                 : English

The output givesyou the track PID (5603) and the code page (888), then 
use ccextractor like:

 > ccextractor -datapid 5603 -tpage 888 --defaultcolor "#ffd700" 
"2558_20120901010000.mpg" "srt_file_5603.srt"

Be aware that some Text tracks do not contain anything that ccextractor 
can interpreter so you will need to try them all to get the one you are 
interested in using. Alsoccexctractor has a limited number of code pages 
(tpage) it can deal with. One last thing the ccextractor executables 
distributed with Lossless Cut are special versions given to me by the 
author which may not have been released yet.

GoodLuck

Doug
